An Arab client has been admitted to the health care facility with pneumonia. What should the nurse avoid while conducting the interview of the client?
A) Giving a light handshake
B) Maintaining eye contact
C) Asking about the client's symptoms
D) Asking about the client's medical history
B
Feedback:
While interviewing an Arab client, the nurse should avoid maintaining eye contact with the client. In Arab culture, maintaining eye contact is sexually suggestive; if the nurse does so during the interview, it may give the wrong message to the client. However, the nurse may give a light handshake or ask about the client's personal life and medical history during the interview.
