Any of the actions might be taken. However, the United States is a multicultural nation with
diverse ethnic groups and diverse values. Before any intervention can be made, the health care
professionals must understand the family's cultural, psychological, social, communal, and
environmental contexts, because these contexts affect the way issues are formulated and
decisions are made. Consequently, it is crucial to interview the family to determine their
understanding of the situation before deciding what, if any, intervention must be made. In many
cultures the family, rather than the individual, is the unit of primary concern.

a.
Appreciate that the family has made the decision that it feels is best and take no further action if
it is clear the family has made an informed choice.
b.
Stress that each individual in society has a right to health care and the family will have to create
some way to raise funds for the needed treatment.
c.
Talk to the media to see whether a campaign to raise funds for the family can be created.

Try to convince the agency to give the care for free, even if it means economic stress for the
agency, because the medical need is obvious. - -A

values, in the absence of immediate and grievous harm, no ethical requirement exists to interfere
with the family's values.
