ANS: 2
Cultural competence is the process of acquiring specific knowledge, skills, and attitudes that en-sure delivery of culturally congruent care. By arranging for the family to assume responsibility for the client's hygiene, the nurse has shown a specific knowledge of the client's needs and acted upon that need. The other options are not as specific or as directly related to nursing care as noti-fying the staff that the client's bath will be done by her sister.
