How could a physician incorporate the culture's ethnomedicine into an Ojibwan patient's treatment?

A) The Ojibwa believe that serious illness is retribution for wrongdoing, so the patient should be given an opportunity to make amends along with his or her biomedical treatment.
B) Because the Ojibwa emphasize ritual in their healing practices, the physician should bring a traditional healer to work alongside him or her in the hospital.
C) The Ojibwa have no concept of germ theory, so the patient should be taught from biology textbooks so he or she will understand the principles of the treatment.
D) Because the Ojibwa believe in humors, the doctor should emphasize "hot" or "cold" forms of treatment as appropriate.
