She states that she believes in a phenomenon known as znakharstvo. To which culture does this patient most likely belong?

Ans: A
Feedback:
For Eastern Europeans, causes of illness are thought to be naturalistic and are explained in impersonal, systemic terms (eg, cold drinks cause sore throats; clean air and rest are essential to health). Superstitions and magical curing (znakharstvo) are also prevalent. Folk medicines and home remedies, including the use of vodka, are believed to have many advantages.
