Final Answer :
A
Explanation :
Cultural background influences a person's beliefs,values,and customs.It influences personal health practices.Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs will not help the nurse to understand the behavior because this is a model to help prioritize care.The definition of health by the WHO will not help the nurse to understand the behavior because it is a definition.Primary prevention occurs before a sickness or dysfunction and includes immunizations.
