Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Many cultures consider it disrespectful to touch a patient without asking permission,so asking a patient for permission is always culturally appropriate. The other actions may be appropriate for some patients but are not appropriate across all cultural groups or for all individual patients. Ethnicity may not be the most important factor in planning care,especially if the patient has urgent physiologic problems.
