An older Asian female with a diagnosis of depression is cared for by her granddaughter. Her granddaughter is very attentive to the client's needs, attends every therapy session, and is active in the planning and implementing of the treatment plan
The granddaughter's valuing of her grandmother is most likely due to her: a. Ethnicity
b. Cultural beliefs
c. Religion
d. Stereotype
B
Cultural beliefs develop over many generations and are a learned set of values, beliefs, and behaviors. Asian cultures commonly value their elderly family members. Ethnicity and religion do not explain the granddaughter's behavior in that ethnicity describes customs and socialization patterns, and religion refers to an organized form of worship. Stereotyping is a preconceived belief about another cultural group, so it does not apply to this situation.
