Answer to Question 1

D
Koreans believe that the body is the property of the ancestors. In the cultures of the Japanese and Southeast Asians, emotional and mental distresses are also expressed through physical signs and symptoms, but the belief that the body is the property of the ancestors is not associated with these cultures. In the Hispanic culture, physical complaints may be associated with mal ojo (the evil eye). It is important to know how somatoform complaints may surface in different cultures. Each culture has its own set of beliefs and ways of expressing those beliefs.

Answer to Question 2

C
Depressed persons may need touch and physical contactan excellent opportunity for therapeutic touch. Aggressive clients may interpret the close presence of a caregiver as threatening. Touch must be used cautiously as a therapeutic tool and with the client's best interest in mind. People with paranoid or anxious feelings usually feel more comfortable when caregivers are outside their intimate space.
