The registered nurse is caring for a pregnant Muslim patient who is anticipating delivery within the next few days. The nurse asks if she and her husband have chosen a name for their baby. The patient quietly shakes her head, "no."
Based upon the patient's response, the nurse understands that:
1. The patient is not happily anticipating the arrival of her baby.
2. Cultural beliefs may require the couple to choose the baby's name following the birth.
3. The patient does not speak English.
4. Cultural beliefs may require that the baby's name be kept secret until after the delivery.
Correct Answer: 2
Rationale 1: There is no evidence to support that the patient is not happily anticipating her baby's arrival.
Rationale 2: In the Muslim culture, it is common to avoid naming the baby until after the baby is born.
Rationale 3: The patient has been conversing with the nurse; no prior interaction suggested a language barrier.
Rationale 4: Rather than keeping the baby's name secret, in the Muslim culture, it is common to avoid naming the baby until the baby is born.
