Aclient is scheduled for knee replacement surgery and expresses a desire to make an autologous blood donation. which client statement about autologous blood donation is most important for the nurse to follow up on?
1. "i will make the first donation this week since my surgery is scheduled in 8 weeks."
2. "i may have to start taking oral iron supplements."
3. "i am glad that i can give up to 6 units of blood."
4. "i have to make the last donation at least 1 week before surgery."

I will make the first donation this week since my surgery is scheduled in 8 weeks will be the client  statement about autologous blood donation. Therefore option 1 will be the answer.

Explanation:

Knee replacement surgery is a procedure of replacement of disease knee with the artificial joints. The natural joint was damaged due to any disease or old age. And this joint cannot bear the body weight.

Most of the patients recover within six weeks of the surgery while some take time at up to 8 weeks. The most beneficial point of the surgery is that the patient will not suffer from knee pain or arthritis anymore.

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.
