Assignment task:
A 9-year-old boy brought by his mother to the follow-up appointment one week after the x-ray showed a fracture, tells the nurse that his dad said his arm is not broken anymore. The boy explains that his father told him it is already healed, and the father has told the boy not to wear the brace. The nurse, Sandra, is aware that the parents are divorced and have shared custody, alternating various days where the boy stays with each parent.
Sandra notices from the medical record that the boy also had a contusion and abrasion on his arm from the incident that produced the fracture. The nurse does not want to tell the patient that his father is wrong. She wants the boy to understand that his bones take longer than a week to heal and especially that he needs to continue to wear the brace. She decides to say, "I see that scratch and bruise on your arm are still there. What do you think heals faster, the thick tough bones or the skin?"
The nurse's decision not to contradict the boy's father is part of which expression of nursing?
How do spiritual beliefs, religious practice, cultural norms, and political factors influence the practice of nursing today, as evidenced in this scenario?
