  1. Maintain eye contact
  2. Maintain rigidity when scheduling care
  3. Head nodding means an agreement
  4. Avoid excessive touching
Explanation
Answer: D - Avoidance of excessive touching is recommended when caring for Chinese-Americans. Limited eye contact and flexibility in scheduling care are appropriate.
