Peter Gates is a nurse who works in a rural clinic in Southern California. Recently Peter saw Mr. Garcia, a 45-year-old native of Mexico. Mr. Garcia complained of abdominal pain that he feels is a punishment from God (castigo)
 
  for an extramarital affair. The best response that Peter could make would be to:
  1. Accept Mr. Garcia's beliefs, but explain that he needs further examination and evaluation.
  2. Ask whether Mr. Garcia wants to see a priest or chaplain.
  3. Disregard Mr. Garcia's beliefs and discuss medical conditions that can cause stomach pain.
  4. Encourage Mr. Garcia to see an appropriate folk healer (curandero) to manage the pain.
