The statement relating to conceptions of self that will help a nurse accurately assess culturally
  diverse clients and plan care is
 
  a. The Western conception of self is the ego, the aspect of personality that mediates
  demands of the id, the superego, and the environment. The definition of self in the
  interdependent worldview tradition is described as a web of relationships and
  expectations of the hierarchical group.
  b. The conception of self of indigenous peoples is an unbounded ego interacting
  primarily with family. The Western self is defined in the context of collective
  family genealogy traced from male lineage over centuries.
  c. The Western worldview views self as being independent and isolated from family
  and community. The Eastern worldview defines self in terms of the relationship
  with all of nature.
  d. The Eastern worldview sees self as independent of family and social
  relationships, with little emphasis on duty. Western tradition views self as
  interdependent, interrelated, and connected with all ancestors and community.

Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
The Western self is individual and focuses on articulation of one's own ideas, desires, and needs as
well as on goal attainment and is consistent with an independent worldview. The interdependent
worldview is exemplified in Asian cultures, in which self is incomplete and part of a cooperative
hierarchical group of insiders with common needs, goals, and concerns. The Native American self
also exemplifies an interdependent worldview with self linked with all other living things. Two other
cultures that exemplify an interdependent worldview are the Arabic culture, in which self is viewed
as part of a group that includes a lineage, and one's value is derived from the social unit, and the
African culture, where self includes one's ancestors, nature, and community.

Answer to Question 2

D
Clients manipulate and control staff in various ways. By keeping staff off balance or fighting among
themselves, the antisocial person is left to operate as he or she pleases. Option A: Seductive behavior
has sexual connotations. Option B: The client is displaying the opposite of detached behavior.
Option C: Guilt is a factor only in the interaction with Nurse C.
