What effects could clients personal beliefs and preferences have on them being moved or positioned?

Clients from cultural backgrounds such as Middle Eastern and some Asian cultures may not wish to be moved, touched, or seen unclothed by healthcare professionals of the opposite sex. Some Asian cultures wish to be involved in care to the point that they may watch over the patient around the clock, taking shifts, and they might wish to do the turning. Some people simply prefer not to be moved due to shyness but sometimes laziness or legitimate pain. However, patients must be turned one way or another due to the safety risks posed to skin integrity, formation of contractures which limit range of motion and mobility, and increase time spent in the hospital.
