A nurse caring for the Arab community observes a client crying. The woman was recently in-formed that her radiation treatments may affect her ability to become pregnant.

The nurse recognizes that the client is most likely reacting to a cultural attitude regarding:
1. The importance of children to an Arab family
2. The Arab view that infertility is grounds for divorce
3. Infertility is a punishment for unholy living
4. The loss of status among other married Arab women

ANSWER

ANS: 2
Infertility in a woman is considered grounds for divorce and rejection among Arabs. Although infertility is grounds for divorce in Arab cultures, it is not the best option for this question.
Infertility as a punishment for unholy living may not be a generally accepted view, it is not the best option for this question. While the loss of status among other married Arab women may be true, it is not the best option for this question.
