Indicate whether the statement is true or false
F
Dying people and their families come from a wide range of cultural and ethnic groups, all with unique ways of handling the process. In some cultures, it is considered inappropriate to tell someone that he or she is dying; in some, the dying family member does not make decisions about end of life, but rather the decisions are left to another family member. The nurse must respect the diverse cultural needs of a dying person and the family—in addition to having a caring holistic approach.
