    Answer to Question #1

    False

     

    Rationale: Adulthood is not always a tumultuous, crisis-oriented state; many middle aged persons welcome the space, time, and independence that middle age often brings. Midlife can be a time of challenge, enjoyment, and satisfaction for many persons.

    Answer to Question #2

    C. Attending religious ceremonies

     

    Rationale: Social and civic duties include participation in those activities in adulthood that contribute to the “good of society.” Some cultures emphasize activities and contributions within the cultural group. For example, in some groups, religious obligations are given priority over civic responsibilities.

    Health-Related Situational Crises #1

    Situational transitions often occur when a serious illness is diagnosed or other traumatic events occur to individuals and their families.

    Caregiving occurs when an unpaid person, usually a family member, helps another family member who has a chronic illness or disease.

    Culture and ethnicity can influence beliefs, attitudes, and perceptions related to caregiving.

    14

    Answer to Question #3

    False

    Rationale: “High blood” is an illness condition that is associated with African American culture in the rural South. Many health care professionals make the wrong assumption that “high blood” is the same as high blood pressure or hypertension; although there are similarities, the cultural explanation of “high blood” is different from the biomedical explanation of high blood pressure or hypertension.
