Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
In some cultures, direct eye contact or contact between men and women is seen as a sexual ad-vance. This is true in the Hasidic culture. Options A and C are disrespectful to the patient and her son. Option D may put the son in an uncomfortable position.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Magico-religious: views illness as caused by actions of a higher authority.
Biomedical: views disease as a result of abnormalities in structure and function and disease caused by intrusion of pathogens into the body.
Naturalistic: based on the concepts of balance. Health is seen as a sign of balance.
Ayurvedic: the oldest known paradigm in the naturalistic system. Illness is seen as an imbalance.
