    A nurse is planning care for a client who is Chinese American and reports adhering to Chinese cultural postpartum practices. Which of the following should the nurse anticipate?

    Explanation & Rationale

    A. In traditional Chinese medicine, health is viewed as a balance between yin (cold) and yang (hot) forces. After childbirth (a "cold" state), women typically consume "hot" foods to restore balance. B. Chinese culture values emotional restraint and modesty; expressive gestures are less common. C. Pain is often endured quietly as a sign of strength and self-control. D. Avoiding direct eye contact is a sign of respect, not avoidance.
