Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The nurse is considered an authority figure who should respect (respeto)the individual,be able to relate to the individual (personalismo),and maintain the individual's dignity (dignidad).Such an approach would be expected for any client,not just with immigrants.Mexican individuals,like those of many cultures,expect to establish some rapport through talking about personal matters (chit-chat)for the first few minutes of an encounter before addressing any problems.Touching as a caring gesture is usually seen as a positive behavior.When interacting with Mexicann immigrants,as well as some other cultures,establishing general rapport through conversation is expected rather than a direct,focused approach.It would be appropriate for a nurse to develop a therapeutic relationship with the client,not a non-confrontational one.
