Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
Latin American cultures use close personal space, closer than many other minority groups.
Standing very close to the patient frequently indicates acceptance. Direct eye contact should not be prolonged with this patient. Persons of this cultural heritage have high emotionality.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
Persons of an indigenous worldview believe disease results from a lack of personal, interpersonal, environmental, or spiritual harmony and that evil spirits exist. The holism of body-mind-spirit is a key component of this view. If one believes an evil spirit has taken control, distress results. Western and Eastern worldviews do not embrace spirits. See relationship to audience response question.
