The female nurse is planning to provide education to a male client from a different culture. What should the nurse consider?
1. All cultures value female nurses.
2. It may be better to have two female nurses in the room during teaching.
3. The nurse should consider asking a male colleague to perform the teaching.
4. Most cultures accept teaching from medical personnel of either gender.
Correct Answer: 3
The nurse should consider the client's culture while planning the teaching session. Some cultures do not accept women in power positions over men, including such roles as nurse and teacher. If there is a cultural issue, the nurse should consider asking a male colleague to perform the teaching. It would not be helpful to have two females in the room if the client does not accept a female as teacher.
