A nurse is creating a care plan for a client recovering from surgery. The client states that they follow a strict vegetarian diet due to cultural beliefs and will participate in fasting during upcoming religious observances. Which intervention reflects appropriate culturally sensitive care by the nurse?
Discourage the client from fasting during religious observances, explaining that fasting can delay the healing process.
Advise the client to consider the standard hospital menu while being mindful of cultural preferences to ensure proper recovery.
Provide general dietary education and recommend a high-protein diet without specific mention of cultural factors.
Collaborate with a dietitian to develop a vegetarian meal plan that supports the client’s recovery and respects cultural practices.
The correct answer demonstrates culturally responsive care by collaborating with a dietitian to ensure that the client’s vegetarian diet and nutritional needs are met during recovery while respecting their cultural practices. Coordinating care with a dietitian ensures adherence to the client’s values without compromising their health. The other options are incorrect because discouraging fasting or promoting the standard menu fails to align with the client's cultural values and preferences. Providing general dietary education without addressing the cultural component does not sufficiently address the client’s personalized requirements.
