In the Mexican culture, health may be considered a gift from God. There are four common folk illnesses that a nurse may encounter with a Mexican client. When experiencing folk ill-nesses, the client may:
 
  1. Prefer to seek care with a folk healer
  2. Return to Mexico for care
  3. Rely on Western medicine to cure the ailment
  4. Become isolated and not seek care

Question 2

An unusual increase in a disease should be investigated. Epidemiologic clues that may signal a bioterrorism attack include:
 
  1. A large number of cases of the flu
  2. A case of cholera following a trip to India by a local politician
  3. Dengue fever in a group of students who just returned from a mission trip
  4. Unusual illness in a population
