Patient A, who has terminal cancer, and Patient B, who has a bladder infection, share a hospital room. Neither patient is a member of the majority culture of the area. Patient A is quiet and rarely acknowledges pain.
 
  Patient B cries and moans loudly much of the day. What understanding will help the nurse provide culturally sensitive care for both patients?
 
  a. The better educated the person, the less likely the person is to openly express pain.
  b. A mentally unstable person is more likely to be noisy about pain sensations.
  c. People respond to the sensation of pain in culturally determined ways.
  d. People who distrust health care workers tend to be silent about their pain.

ANS: C
One's culture influences both the definition of pain and provides guidelines for approved ways of expressing response to the sensation of pain. The other options are not true statements.
