A patient with an abdominal ailment will drink only warm liquids because of the belief that cold liquids will exacerbate the health problem. Which response should the nurse make that demonstrates cultural humility?
1. "The cold liquids will not make your condition worse."
2. "The warm liquids will not make your condition better."
3. "Can you tell me why the cold liquids will make your condition worse?"
4. "Can you tell me why you do not follow the healthcare provider's suggestion?"

Explanation:
Cultural humility is recognizing personal cultural limitations and being motivated to learn about other cultures. Asking the patient to explain why the patient believes cold liquids will make the condition worse demonstrates motivation to learn about the patient's culture. The responses that dismiss the patient's beliefs or only promote healthcare provider's suggestion do not demonstrate cultural humility.
