Answer to Question 1

Ans: A
The magico-religious perspective is common among Latino and Caribbean groups. Those with this perspective believe that health is a gift or reward given as a sign of God's blessing and goodwill. Scientific perspective holds that health is an absence of disease. Holism associates health with healthy functioning and well-being.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: B, C, D, E
Health promotion interventions, such as teaching about prevention and early detection of certain conditions, are particularly important when caring for older adults who are members of a minority group. Nurses communicate nonjudgmental attitudes and asking open-ended questions to elicit information about each person's life experiences and cultural influences. Nurses need to be aware of the health beliefs that influence their clients, so they can adapt their interventions accordingly.
