An Asian-American patient is referred to the mental health clinic. He has many somatic complaints for which no physical basis has been found.
 
  The patient tells the nurse that he does not believe this clinic can help him. Based on knowledge of the beliefs common to this culture, what can the nurse hypothesize about the patient?
  a. Because of the cultural stigma attached to mental illness, he may be expressing psychological distress via somatic symptoms.
  b. Acculturation has occurred because feelings of hopelessness are alien to his native culture.
  c. Suicide is not a present danger because suicidal impulses are rarely associated with feelings of helplessness among Asian-American patients.
  d. The patient has rejected both family care and traditional healing methods in favor of health care practices of the new culture.
