ANS: B
Older women of Asian descent consider it rude to look an authority figure, such as a health care professional, in the eye. This nurse needs to practice culturally competent care and appreciate the cultural differences. Assuming that the patient is depressed or in need of a psychological evaluation is inappropriate.
