strive to work effectively within the cultural context of the client. Option A: Assimilation and
conformity may not be desired by the client. Option B: Handbooks can be helpful but do not provide
all knowledge. Option D: This action should move the nurse toward providing more humanistic care
rather than dehumanizing care.
