Outline and concepts
.....Using three scenarios/situations common to first contact with a
patient, you will be given options from which to select an appropriate
response. All information in the scenarios comes from either the patient's
medical chart, or from information you gather as you see the patient
for this first visit. While few answers are wrong, one answer uses more
cultural sensitivity and maintains issues related patient dignity more
than others. Explanations with the answers will provide information related
to each response. Additional information is provided in the Summary section.
The key concepts include:
Recognizing barriers.
Awareness of behavioral cues.
Use of translators and interpreters.
Social and historical experiences; immigration history.
