as individuals struggle to cope with a sudden life-threatening
illness.

individual to make modifications in his/her lifestyle

Stages of life
Divorce, remarriage, career changes
Copyright © 2016 Wolters Kluwer • All Rights Reserved
Cultural Influences on Adulthood #3
Each culture has specific chronologic standards for appropriate
adult behavior.
Social age: Culture defines what is considered an appropriate
behavior in each stage of the life cycle.
Young adult (teens, 20s, 30s): independence, role changes
Middle adult (40s, 50s): career, family matters

Question #1
Is the following statement true or false?
Midlife adulthood is often a time of stress, dissatisfaction, and
unrest.

5. Copyright © 2016 Wolters Kluwer • All Rights Reserved

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.

6. Cultural Influences on Adulthood #5
Adult life transitions influenced by culture:

Question #2
Which of the following would not be considered a social and/or
civic responsibility?
Serving on the board of a women’s shelter
Donating blood
Attending religious ceremonies
Volunteering at a food bank
Copyright © 2016 Wolters Kluwer • All Rights Reserved
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.

Question #3
Is the following statement true or false?
“High blood” is a term frequently used by the African American
culture in the rural South to identify the condition referred to by
the medical term hypertension.
Copyright © 2016 Wolters Kluwer • All Rights Reserved
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.
