Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
Chinese Americans hold an Eastern (balance) worldview. Persons who are ill or need health care are vulnerable and need protection. The family will find comfort in a nurse's statement that good care will be provided. The distracters apply to persons with a Western or indigenous worldview.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
The Asian community values the family in caring for each other. The Asian community uses traditional medicines and healers, including herbs for mental symptoms. The Asian community describes illness in somatic terms. The Asian community attaches a stigma to mental illness, so interfacing with the community would not be appealing.
