Xt Xt Xt Xt Xt Xt Xt Xt Xt Xt Xt Xt


a. Personalistic or magicoreligious beliefs have been superseded in Western minds b Xt Xt Xt Xt Xt Xt Xt Xt Xt Xt

Xt Xt Xt Xt Xt Xt Xt




ANS: B Xt


Older adults in most cultures usually have had experience with traditional methods that have

worked as well as expected. After these treatments fail, older adults turn to the formal health

care system. Even in the United States, it is common for older adults to pray for cures or
Xt Xt Xt Xt Xt Xt Xt Xt Xt Xt Xt Xt Xt Xt Xt Xt Xt Xt Xt


wonder what they did to incur an illness as punishment. The Ayurvedic system is a natural
Xt Xt Xt Xt Xt Xt Xt Xt Xt Xt Xt Xt Xt Xt Xt


istic health belief system practiced in India and in some neighboring countries. This belief

When working with an interpreter, the nurse closely watches the older adult for nonverbal

the nurse temporarily suspends the preparation to validate her assessment. If the nurse pro
