Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Persons of minority cultures value age and wisdom. Persons with a Western worldview tend to value youth. An older, mature registered nurse would be the most credible leader of this group. The nurse's size has no bearing on credibility.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
The Western biomedical perspective holds the belief that sick people should be as independent and self-reliant as possible. Self-care is encouraged; one gets better by getting up and getting going. An ability to function at a high level is valued. See relationship to audience response question.
