People from some cultures may view time more from a natural environment perspective rather than from a clock. What could be the result of this time orientation? (Select all that apply.)
1. Lack of concern about children achieving developmental milestones
2. Not keeping or being late for appointments
3. Not knowing when pain is occurring
4. Not taking medications at scheduled time intervals
5. Lack of ability to learn
Correct Answer: 1, 2, 4
There are cultures that do not measure time on a clock but as a natural environment perspective. Thus, the client may not take medications at scheduled time intervals and may not keep or may be late for appointments. In certain cultures parents may show a lack of concern about when their children achieve developmental milestones. Time orientation would not ordinarily affect awareness of pain occurring. Time orientation refers to an individual's focus on the past, present or the future. This focus does not determine the ability for an individual to learn.
