As a culturally competent nurse, you know that if a client comes from a culture that emphasizes the present time frame, you can expect the client to:
a. express interest in working with you on client outcomes
b. make health care appointments well in advance
c. delay gratification for the benefit of a future outcome
d. deal with what is deemed pleasing at the moment
D
The client will most likely deal with what is pleasing at the moment, because his emphasis on the present time frame will place less importance on future events. Because the future is not the focus of such a person, delaying gratifications is not seen to be of great benefit. What is happening right now is of primary importance to this type of person.
