When the nurse and client are from two different cultures, there is a likelihood that:
a. patterns can be readily shared between them
b. valuing of the feminine perspective will be shifted
c. situational variables can be similarly interpreted
d. they will misunderstand each other's behaviors
D
Due to the wide variation between cultural beliefs and norms, a nurse and client from two different cultures will likely misunderstand each other's behaviors. Everything from manner of speech, eye contact, distance between people when communicating, touching, and protocol for interaction between those of different socioeconomic status varies within cultures. For example, one person's standard for normal eye contact between professional acquaintances may be interpreted by someone of another culture as being hostile or even sexually suggestive.
