Feedback:
One central facet of culture is religion, and this also directly affects health, illness, and treatment. Some religions attribute disease to divine forces, for instance. Some cultures are relatively fatalistic, which affects their health behaviors. Insha'Allah ("if God wills") is a common refrain for many Muslims, although they may mean it more or less literally. There is no evidence that the client is in denial, angry, or bargaining.
