A nurse is working in a labor and delivery unit in a small town near a Native American reservation. Jane, the patient, is about to give birth to her sixth child. Her family does not have health insurance. Normally she would give birth at home; however, her blood pressure is high. Her family is doing a dance to scare away the evil spirits that brought about this medical condition. She is experiencing pain rated at 9/10 but denies an epidural. She believes that pain is something that should be tolerated. There are about 20 family members present to watch the birth, including all of her children. After the baby is born, she hand expresses colostrum from her breasts and asks that it be thrown away. Additional family members arrive with all sorts of food to celebrate the birth of the baby. (Learning Objectives 2, 4, and 5) a. Discuss how the cultural traits observed by Jane and her baby are specific to her Native American culture. b. Describe how the nurse would provide culturally sensitive nursing care to Jane and her baby.
