What is the recommended approach for interviewing a client who has expe- rienced family violence?: A: Use simple, direct questions with a relaxed and calm approach, and patiently listen without interrupting 8. Should you ask a client if they want to press charges when they disclose abuse?: A: No, that decision involves legal counsel and is not part of the clinical assessment. 9. At what age is it recommended to ask screening questions in a secure, private setting without anyone else present?: A: For any client over the age of 3 years. 10. When should screening for abuse be avoided?: A: If there are any safety concerns for either the healthcare provider or the client. 11. What should be discussed with the client prior to screening for abuse?: A: Legal and mandatory reporting requirements and any limits to confidentiality. 12. What is the importance of allowing the client to answer completely during the interview?: A: It provides the client the opportunity to speak freely, and helps ensure accurate data while demonstrating empathy and concern. 13. How should healthcare providers introduce the topic of abuse screening to clients?: A: By saying, "Because violence is common in many people's lives, I routinely ask all clients to complete the following questions, or I can ask you these questions." 2 / 20 EXAM 2 COMBINED COMPLETE Study online at https://quizlet.com/_frzz5z 14. What is the purpose of the HITS (Hurt, Insult, Threaten, Scream) assess- ment tool?: A: To screen for intimate partner violence. A "Yes" to any of the questions indicates potential abuse. 15. What should a healthcare provider convey during an abuse screening to encourage the client to talk?: A: A concerned, nonjudgmental attitude, showing empathy and compassion. 16. What is the IPV screening?: Tell the client that it is important to routinely screen all clients for IPV because it affects so many women and men in society. 17. What should you do if a client discloses abuse during the screening?: A: Acknowledge the abuse and the client's courage in admitting it, and use supportive statements. 18. What are some examples of supportive statements to use when a client discloses abuse?: A: "I'm sorry this is happening to you. This is not your fault. You are not responsible for his behavior. You are not alone. You don't deserve to be treated this way." 19. How should you respect the client's autonomy if they disclose abuse?: A: Acknowledge the client's autonomy and right to self-determination while reiterating confidentiality. 20. What should you say if a client replies "no" to IPV screening questions but you want to maintain rapport?: A: "If your situation ever changes, please call me to talk about it. I am happy to hear that you are not being abused. If that should ever change, this is a safe place to talk." 21. Why is it important to emphasize confidentiality when a client discloses IPV?: A: It helps build trust and reassures the client that their disclosure will be handled with privacy and care. 22. What is the initial approach for assessing suspected elder mistreatment?- : A: Ask the older adult to describe a typical day and their daily routines, then be alert for indicators of abuse or neglect. 23. What are some screening questions to ask when assessing elder abuse?- : A: "Has anyone ever made you sign papers that you did not understand?" "Are you alone often?" "Has anyone refused to help you when you needed help?" "Has anyone ever refused to give you or let you take your medications?" 24. What is the rationale for asking about past respiratory problems, trauma, or surgeries when assessing suspected abuse?: Trauma or surgery to the thorax may alter its appearance and obscure physical evidence of abuse. 3 / 20 EXAM 2 COMBINED COMPLETE Study online at https://quizlet.com/_frzz5z 25. Why is it important to inquire about a personal or family history of abuse when assessing a client for potential abuse?: A: Abuse often runs in families and past episodes of abuse can influence current situations. 26. How can an abusive partner affect a client's lifestyle or health practices?: - A: Abusive partners often control the activities of their partner and may prevent them from engaging in activities outside the home or building friendships. 27. Why might a client experiencing IPV report shortness of breath?: A: IPV is associated with severe emotional stress, which can manifest as shortness of breath. 28. When interviewing a child about suspected abuse, what should you avoid doing?: A: Avoid coercing the child with rewards or asking questions that can be answered with a simple "yes" or "no." 29. What is important to keep in mind when interviewing a child about abuse?- : A: Establish a reassuring environment, remain calm, avoid showing surprise or distaste, and use terms and language the child understands. 30. What type of questions should be used to extract information from children in cases of suspected abuse?: A: Direct, open-ended or multiple-choice ques- tions, avoiding leading questions. 31. How should a nurse prepare a child for a physical examination after suspected abuse?: A: Ensure the child is as comfortable as possible. Be mindful that the accompanying parent may be the abuser, which could complicate the examination. 32. What should a nurse consider when preparing an adult for a physical examination after abuse?: A: The specific injuries will determine the focus of the exam. For rape, consult a Sexual Assault Nurse Examiner (SANE) to collect evidence that may be used in court. 33. What equipment is generally needed for a physical examination for abuse?: A: Equipment to measure vital signs is necessary for a general examina- tion. Additional equipment depends on the specific injuries. 34. What are key points to remember when examining a client suspected of being abused?: A: Provide privacy. Keep hands warm. Remain nonjudgmental. Educate the client about risks and available assistance. 35. When should the HITS (Hurt, Insult, Threaten, Scream) Assessment Tool be used?: A: When time is limited, the HITS tool is useful to quickly assess potential abuse. 4 / 20 EXAM 2 COMBINED COMPLETE Study online at https://quizlet.com/_frzz5z 36. What additional assessments may be required if sexual assault is iden- tified?: A: A further gynecologic exam may be needed, typically performed by a certified Sexual Assault Nurse Examiner (SANE). 37. How should the physical examination be approached if IPV (intimate part- ner violence) is suspected?: A: Follow standard prep for the body system affected but make the client comfortable. Ask them to remove all clothes and wear a gown for full-body assessment. 38. What general screening guidelines should be followed for all clients in healthcare settings?: A: Always be alert to signs of domestic violence during interviews and exams. Use appropriate tools like the Abuse Assessment Screen for at-risk clients. 39. What should be done if there is physical evidence of abuse?: A: Take digital photographs of the abuse with the client's consent and follow the health care facility or agency policy. 40. What is the process of analyzing data to make clinical judgments in family violence cases?: A: After collecting subjective and objective data, identify abnormal findings and client strengths. Cluster the data to reveal significant patterns, which will inform clinical judgments regarding family violence. 41. What are some risk factors for client concerns related to family violence?- : A: Risk for poor family health associated with the presence of violence Risk for injury related to partner violence Risk for violent behavior toward others due to poor coping or substance abuse Risk for PTSD due to inability to leave an abusive relationship Risk for self-harm due to ongoing family abuse 42. What are actual client concerns related to family violence?: A: Lack of personal identity due to the victimized role Postrape traumatic reaction, leading to impaired everyday function Fear of losing an abusive intimate relationship Poor self-esteem linked to prolonged physical, sexual, or emotional abuse 43. Why is it important for nurses to understand culture in patient care?: A: Nurses interact with clients daily who may hold different beliefs about health, illness, and family decision-making. Cultural knowledge helps address health disparities and avoid ethnocentrism and stereotyping. Regulatory standards also require cultural competence. 44. What is cultural competence in nursing?: A: Cultural competence is the ability to integrate cultural assessments into health care, recognizing and addressing normal and abnormal variations in health and beliefs across different cultures. 5 / 20 EXAM 2 COMBINED COMPLETE Study online at https://quizlet.com/_frzz5z 45. What does the ASKED mnemonic stand for, and how does it relate to cultural competence?: A: Awareness: Of your biases and prejudices Skill: In completing cultural assessments Knowledge: About different cultures and beliefs Encounters: Level of interaction with people from different cultures Desire: Genuine interest in becoming culturally competent 46. What are some key contexts that culture includes beyond basic beliefs?: A: Culture includes family structure and function, spirituality and religion, and commu- nity, which influence growth, health, illness, and health care delivery. 47. What is the main purpose of assessing culture in health care?: A: To learn about a client's beliefs and behaviors related to health and illness, compare these with standard Western health care, and assess health relative to diseases prevalent in the client's cultural group. 48. What specific aspects should a nurse assess regarding a client's cultural background?: A: Beliefs about disease causes Caregiving roles Expected treatments (Western and folk practices) Daily hygiene rituals Food preferences and rituals Religious beliefs related to health care 49. How can nurses avoid stereotyping when assessing a client's culture?: A: Compare the client's individual beliefs and practices with both Western health care and others from their cultural background, recognizing individual variations. 50. What should nurses ask to understand a client's view of their illness?: A: Ask, "What does the illness mean to you?" This helps understand the client's perspective and their beliefs regarding the cause and impact of the illness. 51. How should nurses assess how illness affects a client's lifestyle and beliefs?: A: Ask, "How has the illness affected your lifestyle and beliefs?" This helps gauge changes in the client's daily life and any shifts in their personal or spiritual outlook. 52. What question can nurses ask to understand how clients view the cause of their illness?: A: Ask, "What do you think caused your illness?" Clients may attribute illness to factors like poor lifestyle, spiritual beliefs (e.g., punishment from God), or cultural concepts like yin/yang or imbalances in hot and cold. 53. What question helps assess what being healthy means to a client?: A: Ask, "What does being healthy mean to you?" This reveals how clients define health and whether they follow practices like exercise or dietary control to maintain it. 6 / 20 EXAM 2 COMBINED COMPLETE Study online at https://quizlet.com/_frzz5z 54. How do cultural beliefs influence a client's approach to health care?: A: Cultural beliefs affect communication, whom the client seeks help from, and how they perceive health and illness. These beliefs will shape their behavior in seeking treatments and interacting with health care providers. 55. How do cultural beliefs affect perceptions of suffering and pain?: A: Beliefs about suffering and pain vary widely across cultures, and understanding these beliefs helps nurses provide care that respects the client's spiritual or cultural views. 56. How do beliefs about healers affect a client's response to health care?: A: Clients from cultures where traditional healers (e.g., curandero, shaman) play a significant role may not accept Western health care without their involvement. 57. Why is it important not to assume all members of a cultural group follow the same health practices?: A: Assuming all clients from a cultural group follow traditional practices is stereotyping, which may lead to conflict. Nurses must assess the individual's unique beliefs and level of acculturation. 58. Communication Needs/Preferences:: Time Space Eye contact and positioning : Body language and hand gestures Silence Touch 59. Spiritual Assessment - spirit mnemonic: S - Spiritual belief system P - Personal spirituality I - Integration with a spiritual community R - Ritualized practices and restrictions I - Implications for medical care T - Terminal events planning 60. How does cultural conditioning affect the experience of pain?: A: The experience of pain can vary by cultural conditioning; some individuals may see pain as punishment for wrongdoing, while others may view it as atonement. 61. What influences an individual's response to pain?: A: An individual's re- sponse to pain can be influenced by cultural values, which can affect how they express or cope with pain. 62. What challenges arise when the caregiver and client come from different cultures?: A: When caregivers and clients have different cultural backgrounds, it can be difficult to accurately interpret the level of pain the client is experiencing. 63. Why might it be necessary to explain the therapeutic reasons for treating pain to clients from stoic cultures?: A: Clients from stoic cultures may be reluctant 7 / 20 EXAM 2 COMBINED COMPLETE Study online at https://quizlet.com/_frzz5z to express or describe pain, so explaining the therapeutic reasons for pain manage- ment can help them understand the importance of communicating their pain levels. 64. What is the main purpose of a spiritual assessment in nursing?: A: To better understand the client and the client's spiritual perspective related to health. 65. Why is objectivity important during a spiritual assessment?: A: The nurse's personal views on the client's spiritual beliefs should not influence the assessment; the focus is on the client's perspective. 66. What is a clinical tip for conducting a spiritual assessment?: A: Briefly ad- dressing a client's spirituality can establish an open dialogue and lay the foundation for future interventions or care. 67. What components should be integrated into a spiritual assessment?: A: History of present concern, related past history, family history, and lifestyle and practices. 68. what would other people do different in other cultures?: hand gestures eye contact time awarness 69. (pt violented) first thing when interviewing the pt to consider is: pt physical and emotional safety 70. red flags when screening for violence: partner dont let them talk history of physical violence unexplained injuries diff stages of healing injuries dont match story repeated injuries 71. values and beliefs can be divided into 2 categories: 1. those that affect the client's approach to healthcare system 2. those that affect the client's disease, illness or health care 72. factors affecting approach: ethnicity generational status education level religion previous health care experiences occupation and income level beliefs about time and space communication needs 73. spirituality/religion impact on health: -turn in times of stress or illness -refusal of blood transfusion or other treatments -may need ethics committee in some sustaining situations involving pediatrics. 8 / 20 EXAM 2 COMBINED COMPLETE Study online at https://quizlet.com/_frzz5z 74.
