Question

a nurse is caring for a client who is newly admitted to the acute psychiatric unit for alcohol use disorder. the client reports growing up in an amish community. which of the following actions should the nurse take? inform the client that the nurse follows judaism. provide the client with a bible. assess for personal bias related to alcohol use disorder before interacting with the client. ask the client where they grew up practicing amish traditions.

Explanation:

Nurses should be aware of and manage personal biases to provide unbiased care. Sharing one's own religion (A) is not relevant. Assuming the client wants a Bible (B) without asking about their specific religious needs is inappropriate. Asking about Amish traditions (D) is less crucial than addressing bias in the context of treating alcohol - use disorder.

Answer:

C. Assess for personal bias related to alcohol use disorder before interacting with the client.
