Answer to Question 1

3

Rationale: Hispanic-American foods are rich in color, flavor, texture, and spiciness. In the His-panic-American culture, any occasion is seen as a time to celebrate with food and to enjoy the companionship of family and friends. Because food is a primary form of socialization in the Hispanic-American culture, they may have difficulty adhering to a prescribed diet. Asian Amer-icans eat raw fish, rice, and soy sauce. European Americans prefer carbohydrates and red meat.

Answer to Question 2

1

Rationale: Most Asian-American individuals maintain a formal distance with each other, which is a form of respect. Many are uncomfortable with face-to-face communications, especially when there is direct eye contact. If the client turns away from the nurse during a conversation, the best action is to continue with the conversation. Walking around to the client so that the nurse faces the client is in direct conflict with cultural practices. Identifying the importance of the instruc-tions for the maintenance of health care may be viewed as degrading. Returning later to continue with the explanation may be viewed as a rude gesture.
