Question

a nurse is assigned to care for a client who repeatedly requests a different nurse, despite receiving competent care. the client states they are more comfortable with someone from a similar background because they just understand me better. what underlying issue might be influencing the clients repeated requests?
answers: a - d
a the clients need for specialized medical treatment
b the clients dissatisfaction with the quality of care
c the clients preference for a specific gender
d the clients implicit bias based on cultural background

Explanation:

The client mentions feeling better - understood by someone from a similar background, indicating an implicit bias based on cultural factors. It's not about specialized treatment as competent care is already provided, not dissatisfaction with care quality as it's stated to be competent, and there's no mention of gender - preference.

Answer:

D. The client's implicit bias based on cultural background
