Explanation:

To foster an equitable and inclusive culture in healthcare, the first - step is awareness. Recognizing implicit biases and microaggressions is crucial as it allows the nurse to address these issues. Spending more time with some clients may seem caring but can be seen as unfair if not balanced. Establishing therapeutic relationships is important but not the first step for equity. Hiding and suppressing explicit discrimination is not the same as addressing the root causes.

Answer:

B. Recognize that implicit biases and microaggressions exist.
