A client repоrts feeling judged аnd misunderstооd becаuse of their culturаl identity. Which nurse action aligns with cultural safety?
Avery Mоrgаn, а freelаnce phоtоgrapher, was walking through a downtown commercial district late one evening after finishing a client shoot. As Avery passed a small office building, she heard loud banging and distressed noises coming from inside a gated loading area behind the building. Avery tried the front entrance, but it was locked and unattended. Concerned that someone or something might be in danger, Avery climbed over the side gate and entered the loading area. There, Avery discovered a valuable show dog trapped under fallen equipment. Avery managed to move the equipment and free the trapped animal. At that moment, the business owner, Ms. Delgado, arrived. Seeing Avery holding the injured dog, she rushed over and exclaimed, “That’s my championship dog, Vega, thank you so much! you saved her!” After hearing what happened, Ms. Delgado thanked Avery repeatedly and invited Avery into her office. During their conversation, Ms. Delgado said:“I really want to repay you for this. Tell me something you’ve always wanted to do.” Avery replied that they loved attending international photography workshops but could rarely afford them. Ms. Delgado responded:“If you send me your information, I’ll cover the cost of a full workshop for you. You deserve that.” Several days later, Avery received an offer to participate in a photography program in Seattle and paid $9,800 to enroll, using her credit card. Avery then emailed Ms. Delgado, explaining the enrollment and inviting her to view the final exhibition. Ms. Delgado replied:“I was thinking of a local workshop, not something across the country. I’m not paying for that.” Additional facts emerge: Before entering the gated area, Avery’s colleague Jordan, who was on the phone, cautioned: “You might be getting into trouble, Avery, this isn’t your property.” Avery responded: “I can’t ignore this situation.” The next day, Ms. Delgado posted publicly: “Grateful to the person who saved Vega! I’m planning to do something meaningful in return.” While in the office, Ms. Delgado also mentioned: “If you ever want to help rebrand my business with new photography, I’d probably pay around $3,500.” Avery responded: “I’d be happy to start working on some ideas.” No further details were discussed. Avery now brings suit against Ms. Delgado. What legal theories can Avery assert and what is the likelihood that she will prevail? Remember that you must explain the reasoning for each of your conclusions and you must also take account of the arguments that might be advanced by the other side.
