ATI NCLEX-PN Practice Questions Practice Question
The Mexican client requests a curandero to come to the hospital to visit. Which statement explains the role of the curandero in the Mexican culture?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The role of a curandero in Mexican culture encompasses a spiritual dimension, as they are often viewed as healers who receive their gifts from a divine source, enabling them to address traditional illnesses. This connection to spirituality distinguishes them from other practitioners.
Option A inaccurately describes a physical therapist rather than a curandero, who focuses on holistic healing. Option B, while touching on herbal remedies, overlooks the spiritual aspect central to a curandero's practice. Option C misrepresents the role, as not all curanderos focus solely on witchcraft; their practice is broader, integrating various healing methods.
