A nurse is working with a cultural group that has many proscriptions against women seeking health care. What action by women in this community would indicate that they have successfully negotiated a new role in seeking care?
A.
Are able to make and keep medical appointments
B.
Can afford to pay for desired health-care services
C.
Follow their traditional roles and responsibilities
D.
Seek health-care advice from family members
ANS: A
Cultural proscriptions are beliefs, practices, and values of a group that tell women and children what they should not do. In many traditional cultures, women do not have permission, decision-making power, or means to access the health-care system. If the women from such a culture successfully negotiate their roles regarding health care, they can access the health-care system on their own. The ability to afford services is not related, although cultural proscriptions might forbid women from making such a transaction. If they follow their traditional roles or seek health care from family members, they have not demonstrated a successful negotiation of a new role.
