A nursing student has been assigned to provide care for a patient who is from a different culture and who has recently been diagnosed with cancer.
 
  After talking with the patient and her family, the student is surprised to learn that the patient wants her eldest son to make most of the decisions around her care and treatment. How should the student best respond to this situation?
  A) Teach the patient that she has the authority to make her own decisions while she is in the hospital.
  B) Speak to the son and encourage him to let his mother make decisions independently.
  C) Document this fact and ensure that a social worker gets involved in the patient's care.
  D) Understand that the members of this culture may have dynamics that differ from his or her own culture.
