A 10-year-old Native American boy is admitted for treatment of status asthmaticus. When stable, the patient's grandmother visits and brings him licorice tea, a common herbal remedy in the Native American community. The nurse caring for the patient is anxious that the boy's family may not follow his medication regimen at home. Which of the following responses by the nurse respects the family's culture and maintains the patient's best interest?

The Progressive Care Certified Nurse (PCCN) exam is administered by the American Association of Critical-Care Nurses (AACN), which is the largest specialty nursing organization in the world. The PCCN examination tests applicants' knowledge of caring for acutely ill adult patients.

PCCN is a specialty certification for nurses who provide direct care to acutely ill adult patients regardless of their physical location. Nurses interested in this certification may work in areas such as intermediate care, direct observation, stepdown, telemetry, transitional care or emergency departments.
