A statistical analysis of City Health Clinic's patient base shows that few of its patients are elderly Asian Americans. Nurse K, a second-generation Asian American, offers a probable cause for this phenomenon
She knows that Asian American groups, though different from each other: A) Value a strong family network and expect that family members will care for their elders at home
B) Subscribe to traditional health practices and reject modern technology
C) Do not express their feelings openly or challenge the health professional
D) Have preserved many of their homeland traditions and tend to live in isolated pockets
A
Feedback:
Although differences among various Asian American groups exist, two similarities are strong family networks and the expectation that family members will care for their elders at home. They do not necessarily reject modern technology and neither reluctance to express feelings nor the tendency to preserve traditions would account for the phenomenon noted.
