Answer to Question 1

B
Feedback:
While interviewing an Arab client, the nurse should avoid maintaining eye contact with the client. In Arab culture, maintaining eye contact is sexually suggestive; if the nurse does so during the interview, it may give the wrong message to the client. However, the nurse may give a light handshake or ask about the client's personal life and medical history during the interview.

Answer to Question 2

D
Feedback:
While interviewing an Anglo-American client, the nurse should maintain eye contact, because it indicates openness and sincerity. Anglo-Americans freely express positive and negative feelings; therefore, the nurse may probe into emotional issues. Anglo-American culture is an open culture, and members of this culture do not mind providing personal information. Also, Anglo-Americans are not threatened by closeness, so the nurse may not have to sit in another corner of the room.
