A) Prejudice
B) Ethnocentrism

D) Intolerance
B
Feedback:
Ethnocentrism—the belief that one's own culture is the best and the only acceptable way—is a barrier in the client's nursing care. Prejudice and intolerance are based on preconceived notions about certain groups of people, and stereotyping refers to classifying or categorizing people and believing that all those belonging to a certain group are alike.
