Holding back more potent pain medication for a client who had a minor procedure is an example of a cultural imposition of the nurse on a client. Adaptation of the client's room to accommodate extra family members is not an example of cultural imposition on a client, but rather is meeting the client's need by providing culturally congruent care. Seeking information on gen-der-congruent care for an Egyptian client is an example of the desire to provide culturally con-gruent care. Encouraging family to assist with the client's care is not an example of cultural im-position on a client. Western culture tends to follow a pattern of caring that focuses on self-care and self-determination, whereas non-Western cultures typically have care provided by others.
