For a patient with the following pes statement and interventions, which would be the most appropriate monitoring and evaluating data? pes statement: inadequate calcium intake related to food and nutrition related knowledge deficit as evidenced by statements that the only dietary source of calcium is milk and she believes that she is lactose intolerant. patient’s nutrition prescription is for a diet providing 1200 mg calcium per day. patient was provided with in-depth nutrition education on alternative dietary and supplement sources of calcium.
a. calcium intake (at subsequent visit).
b. knowledge assessment by asking patient to identify food sources from menus and shopping list (at the end of the current visit).
c. serum calcium (at next visit).
d. both a and b e. both a and c.

D. Both A and B

Explanation:

The patient needs to ingest an adequate amount of calcium as the rate of calcium in his bloodstream is low. In addition, the patient has shown little knowledge of foods that have appropriate amounts of calcium for him. For this reason we can conclude that the correct answer to your question is set out in letters A and B.

low context culture   (lc.):

association:    

relationships begin and end quickly. many people can be inside one's circle; circle's boundary is not clear.

things get done by following procedures and paying attention to the goal.

one's identity is rooted in oneself and one's accomplishments.

social structure is decentralized; responsibility goes further down (is not concentrated at the top).

interaction:

low use of nonverbal elements. message is carried more by words than by nonverbal means.

verbal message is explicit. context is less important than words.

verbal message is direct; one spells things out exactly.

communication is seen as a way of exchanging information, ideas, and opinions.  

disagreement is depersonalized. one withdraws from conflict with another and gets on with the task. focus is on rational solutions, not personal ones. one can be explicit about another's bothersome behavior.

territoriality:

space is compartmentalized and privately owned; privacy is important, so people are farther apart.

temporality:

things are scheduled to be done at particular times, one thing at a time. what is important is that activity is done efficiently.

change is fast. one can make change and see immediate results.

time is a commodity to be spent or saved. one’s time is one’s own.

learning:

reality is fragmented and compartmentalized. one source of information is used to develop knowledge. thinking is inductive, proceeds from specific to general. focus is on detail.

learning occurs by following explicit directions and explanations of others.

an individual orientation is preferred for learning and problem solving.

speed is valued. how efficiently something is learned is important.
