You are orienting a new nursing graduate to your medical unit. The new nurse has been assisting an elderly woman, who is Greek, to fill out her menu for the next day
To what resource should you refer your colleague to obtain appropriate dietary recommendations for this patient?
A) The U.S. Department of Agriculture's MyPlate
B) Evidence-based resources on nutritional assessment
C) Culturally sensitive materials, such as the Mediterranean Pyramid
D) A Greek cookbook that contains academic references
Ans: C
Feedback:
Culturally sensitive materials, such as the food pagoda and the Mediterranean Pyramid, are available for making appropriate dietary recommendations. MyPlate is not explicitly culturally sensitive. Nursing resource books do not usually have culturally sensitive dietary specific material. A Greek cookbook would not be an appropriate clinical resource.
