A nurse is planning a community teaching event on women's health for members of an unfamiliar culture. To create an event that is successful, the best action by the nurse would be to
a. arrange the event at a location that is convenient to attend.
b. have activities for children who attend with their mothers.
c. plan to provide culturally appropriate food and beverages.
d. read about common health problems in this particular group.
B
Arranging activities for small children would go a long way towards making the event successful. Mothers in some cultural groups take their children with them nearly everywhere; this is particularly true among lower income parents, who may not have options for babysitting. Small children can be disruptive and distract their parents, so having activities with which to engage them would be very helpful.
A convenient location is a beneficial asset, but it would not be the most important factor.
Culturally appropriate snacks are a great idea but would not be the most important consideration.
Being knowledgeable about common health problems for this group is important, but simply reading about them would not be the action most likely to result in a successful event.
