The focal point of nursing is the nurse-patient interaction. What must nurses consider when conducting the necessary assessment of their patients and significant others?
A) Their health disparities
B) Their societal beliefs
C) The subgroup they belong to
D) Their own cultural orientation
Ans: D
Feedback: Because the nurse–patient interaction is the focal point of nursing, nurses should consider their own cultural orientation when conducting assessments of patients and their families and friends. Nurses do not have health disparities. The societal beliefs of the nurse and any subgroup they may be a part of are not what nurses must consider when conducting necessary assessments of their patients and the significant others of those patients.
