A Patient Who Is Native American and Visiting a Health

A patient who is Native American and visiting a health care clinic for the first time keeps his eyes on the floor and seldom makes eye contact with the nurse. The nurse would be correct in thinking that the patient:

A) is depressed and concerned about his health status.
B) would be more comfortable with an elder from his tribe present.
C) is uncomfortable talking about health issues with a woman.
D) finds direct or sustained eye contact rude or disrespectful.
