  4. D

  6. F
    Responding to the client's anxiety by stating, 'Your strong faith will guarantee a quick recovery, so try not to worry.'

Cevap

The correct nursing actions include assigning a same-sex healthcare provider for hygiene, consulting the client before removing sacred threads, and accommodating requests to position the bed facing east or south.
The correct nursing actions prioritize cultural competence, client autonomy, and therapeutic care. In Hindu culture, modesty is highly valued, making a same-sex provider preferable for personal care. Sacred threads (janeu) and religious jewelry have profound spiritual significance and should never be removed without informed consent. Additionally, traditional Hindu practices often involve positioning a sick individual's bed so that their head faces east or south to align with spiritual beliefs.

1
Analyze the client's cultural and religious background (Hindu faith) to identify appropriate spiritual accommodations and modesty preferences.
Identified that modesty, protection of sacred items, and specific spatial orientations are important cultural considerations.

2
Evaluate each nursing action to determine if it falls within the registered nurse scope of practice, utilizes therapeutic communication, and avoids cultural stereotyping.
Identified that delegating spiritual assessment, offering false reassurance, and assuming dietary preferences violate nursing standards.
