Nurse A works with Native American patients at a reservation health care center. She advises a new staff member to be especially observant of these patients and tolerant of their health care requests because Native American patients:
A) May demand special rituals during sickness and at death
B) Use services from agencies as a last resort because such assistance conflicts with their belief in the Great Creator
C) Link the typical nursing assessment process to evil forces or to punishment
D) Show their absence of feeling, caring, or discomfort by appearing calm and controlled
A
Feedback:
Spiritual rituals, medicine men, herbs, homemade drugs, and mechanical interventions can be used by Native American people to treat illness. Treatment does not necessarily conflict with belief in a Great Creator and the nursing assessment process is not linked to punishment. Feeling and care are not absent among Native Americans.
