(Select all that apply.) - Answer--Knowledge about ethnicity
-Knowledge about cultures
-Knowledge about another culture's health belief system
Learning about a new culture is important in the care of today's clients. Accepting ethnic values and
respecting them is even more important. Learning about a new culture is just as important as ethnicity.
Recognizing and respecting the individual's health belief system will go a long way in providing quality
treatment. Depending fully on verbal, facial, and body expressions is easily misunderstood, especially
from cultural and ethnic perspectives.

Answer--As a 91-year-old, he still enjoys going out to dinner and dancing.
-He bowls every week with his friends.
-He still likes to go with his wife to the grocery store, although he has hip pain and uses a walker.
-He says, "I am a devout Christian and believe that my God is with me always. I am not afraid of dying."
He is involving his whole being by going out to dinner and dancing. Bowling every week helps achieve a
balance between his social and physical processes. He is balancing his physical process and maximizing
his potential in the environment where he is functioning. Wellness involves one's whole being―physical,
emotional, mental, and spiritual―all of which are vital components. By eating green, leafy vegetables,
he is not achieving effective health practices. Eating green, leafy vegetables alters his prothrombin time
(PT) and international normalized ratio (INR). Smoking is shortening his life span and possibly setting
himself up for lung cancer.
