An older Mexican-American woman with traditional beliefs has been admitted to an inpatient care unit. A culturally sensitive nurse would:
 
  a. Contact the hospital administrator about the best course of action.
  b. Automatically get a curandero for her, because requesting one herself is not culturally appropriate.
  c. Further assess the patient's cultural beliefs and offer the patient assistance in contacting a curandero or priest if she desires.
  d. Ask the family what they would like to do because Mexican-Americans traditionally give control of decision making to their families.

Question 2

If an American Indian woman has come to the clinic to seek help with regulating her diabetes, then the nurse can expect that she:
 
  a. Will comply with the treatment prescribed.
  b. Has obviously given up her belief in naturalistic causes of disease.
  c. May also be seeking the assistance of a shaman or medicine man.
  d. Will need extra help in dealing with her illness and may be experiencing a crisis of faith.

Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
In addition to seeking help from the biomedical or scientific health care provider, patients may also seek help from folk or religious healers. Some people, such as those of Mexican-American or American-Indian origins, may believe that the cure is incomplete unless the body, mind, and spirit are also healed (although the division of the person into parts is a Western concept).

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
When self-treatment is unsuccessful, the individual may turn to the lay or folk healing systems, to spiritual or religious healing, or to scientific biomedicine. In addition to seeking help from a biomedical or scientific health care provider, patients may also seek help from folk or religious healers.
