The nurse is practicing which part of the ABCDE Diversity Practice Model? 1. "A" or assumptions
2. "B" or beliefs
3. "C" or communication
4. "D" or diversity
4
Rationale 1: Assumption is the act of taking for granted or supposing that a thought or idea about a group is true. This nurse is not assuming how care would be provided, but has asked for information.
Rationale 2: Beliefs are shared ideas about how a group operates. The nurse is asking for information rather than acting on beliefs.
Rationale 3: Communication is the two-way sharing of information that results in an understanding between receiver and sender. This is not the purpose of the nurse's inquiry.
Rationale 4: Diversity is the way in which people differ and the effect that these differences have on health perception and health care. The nurse's question is an attempt to understand that diversity.
