a. Interview a client.
b. Observe a group.
c. Participate in the community.
d. Visit a group of clients.
C
Participating in a community that has a large number of members from a particular culture pro-vides insight into the particular cultural group as a whole, rather than from an individual point of view. The nurse can passively learn about an individual or a group through interview, observa-tion, and visitation, but active participation in a community can create a long-lasting understand-ing of the group's ways of life.
