A traditional Arab female client is brought to the emergency room by her husband. She complains of feeling very anxious and short of breath and has chest pain. What would likely be a hindrance to the care of this client?
a. The emergency room physician is female.
b. Her husband asks if he can stay with his wife.
c. One of the emergency room nurses is of Arab descent.
d. The only caregivers available in the emergency room are male.
D
In some traditional Arab cultures, a woman will not make eye contact with any man except her husband and may not be touched by another man. Having only male staff in the emergency room on this shift would block necessary care. Arrangements would have to be made to have a female staff member come to the emergency room to assist in client care. The other options should not cause a problem.
