3) An elderly male client has been assigned to a female nurse for morning care. The client calls the charge nurse and requests a male nurse. The charge nurse makes the requested change because the nurse knows that:

A) It is not a good idea to force things on older people.

B) The client will refuse all care if the change is not made.

C) All cultures have preferences and beliefs.

D) The client may be uncomfortable with a female giving him care.

Answer: D Explanation: A) Any client may prefer to receive care from a nurse of the same gender. This is not necessarily because of cultural preferences and beliefs. Understanding that the client may be uncomfortable with a female caregiver best acknowledges the client's feelings. Thinking that the client will refuse all care if the change is not made makes an assumption based on opinion. In some aspects of caring for an elderly client, it may be important to avoid forcing things on the client. It is not a valid basis for making this decision. There is no cultural component to the question. Implementation Safe, Effective Care Environment - Coordinated Care
