An Asian-American client will accept hygiene care from only family members. The cultural origin of this behavior is most likely:
1. Valued privacy
2. Female modesty
3. Interdependency
4. Mistrust of strangers
ANS: 3
In collectivistic cultures that value group reliance and interdependence, such as traditional Asians, Hispanics, and Africans, caring behaviors require actively providing physical and psy-chosocial support for family or community members. While the other options may be individual-ized factors, culturally the most likely origin is that of group reliance and interdependency of the Asian culture.
