Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In some Asian cultures, exposing legs or other body parts in front of strangers is considered inappropriate and embarrassing. It is important for clinicians to respect these cultural beliefs and provide alternative options for examination or treatment. Therefore, option D is the best answer as the patient may express discomfort with having her legs exposed in front of the clinician. Options A, B, and C are not necessarily culturally specific concerns and should not be assumed without further information about the patient's preferences and experiences.
