According to Mattson (2009), in Asian countries, where families are very involved in patient care, it
would be considered rude for the nurse to assist in bathing or feeding a patient. However, in American
health care facilities, if the nurse does not ensure that these services are done, staff members could
view this nurse as a "slacker" who is not completing his job duties.
