Which question would best help a nurse assess feminist issues regarding treatment options for a woman of a culture with an Eastern worldview?
a. "What does someone of your culture call this illness?"
b. "How does someone with this illness usually behave?"
c. "How does being a woman affect someone with this illness?"
d. "How do people of your culture express dislike or displeasure?"
C
The best question will help the nurse understand a woman's importance in the culture. In a culture in which women play a lesser role, healing options may not be readily available. The distracters help assess culture-bound illness, relate to sick roles, pain expression, predominant symptoms, and are more related to general cultural factors rather than women's issues.
