Answer to Question 2

C
Mrs. Lee talked freely with the nurse during the assessment. There is insufficient information to suspect abuse. Chinese American clients may consider eye contact impolite. Chinese American women may be very uncomfortable about being examined by a male health care worker. Traditional Chinese healers are usually sought before seeking Western medicine.
