An elderly Mexican-American woman with traditional beliefs has been admitted to an inpatient
care unit. A culturally-sensitive nurse would:
A) contact the hospital administrator about the best course of action.
B) automatically get a curandero for her because it is not culturally appropriate for her to
request one.
C) further assess the patient's cultural beliefs and offer the patient assistance in contacting a
curandero or priest if she desires.
D) ask the family what they would like to do because Mexican-Americans traditionally give
control of decisions to their families
C) further assess the patient's cultural beliefs and offer the patient assistance in contacting a
curandero or priest if she desires.

patients may also seek help from folk or religious healers. Some people, such as those of
Mexican-American or American Indian origins, may believe that the cure is incomplete unless
the body, mind, and spirit are also healed (although the division of the person into parts is a
Western concept).

pain?

with the pain.
B) Just as patients vary in their perceptions of pain, so will they vary in their expressions of pain.
Page: 25 In addition to expecting variations in pain perception and tolerance, the nurse should
expect variations in the expression of pain. It is well known that individuals turn to their
social environment for validation and comparison. The other statements are incorrect.

D) parents are often the decision makers, and they have no knowledge of their children's
spiritual needs.
