SAS 16

1.) A & C - Researchers have discovered that German and Anglo-American mothers
expect early autonomy in the child and have fewer physical interventions as the
child plays, thus encouraging exploration and independence (Dewar, 2014).
2.) B - For example, in Asian and Latino cultures, the male child is expected to
maintain strong control over his emotions, and not cry in the presence of others;
therefore, a child crying in pain may be interpreted one way by a nurse and
dismissed as inappropriate gender-related behavior by a parent.
3.) B & E - In some cultures, mothers premasticate, or chew, food for young children
in the belief that this will facilitate digestion. This practice, most frequently
reported among Black and Hispanic mothers, is of questionable benefit and may
transmit infection from the mother’s mouth to the baby (Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention, 2014b; Rakhmanina et al., 2011).
4.) A - Most White middle class North American and European families believe that
infants and children should sleep alone. There are no negative associations
between cosleeping during the toddler years and behavior and cognition at 5
years of age (Barajas et al., 2011).
5.) D - Option D is not true regarding toilet training of toddlers. Toileting or toilet
training is a major developmental milestone and is taught through a variety of
cultural patterns. Most children are capable of achieving dryness by 2½ to 3
years of age. Bowel training is more easily accomplished than bladder training.
Daytime (diurnal) dryness is more easily attained than nighttime (nocturnal)
dryness.
6.) C - In traditional Mexican American families, girls and women are not permitted
to walk barefooted, wash their hair, or take showers or baths during menses.
7.) D - Adolescent girls of Islamic religious backgrounds have cultural and/or
religious prohibitions and duties during and after menstruation. In Islamic law,
blood is considered unclean. The blood of menstruation, as well as blood lost
during childbirth, is believed to render the female impure. Because one must be
in a pure state to pray, menstruating girls and women are forbidden to perform
certain acts of worship, such as touching the Koran, entering a mosque, praying,
and participating in the feast of Ramadan.
8.) B - Many Asian parents value respectful, deferential behavior toward adults, who
are considered experienced and wise; therefore, children are discouraged from
making decisions independently.
9.) D - In Hispanic culture, susto is caused by a frightening experience and is
recognized by nervousness, loss of appetite, and loss of sleep.
10.) C - Hemophilia is an X-linked disease and is not associated with any ethnic
groups.
