Module 1 ‘s mind map used below

A healthcare provider may have to come up with an alternative appointment structure for cultures that look at time in a loose manner and therefore may not prioritize good time management as strictly.

In certain cultures, it is a norm to consult the health condition of the patient and the treatment options with the elder or family head instead of the patient.

For example, some cultures may require a close personal space during the conversation, while others might see it as uncomfortable or disrespectful.

Some patients may opt for traditional remedies and be convinced that they work better than any modern medicine. This is why they chose their treatment options.

Some drugs may demonstrate specific differences in their effect on different ethnic groups because of genetic factors.

For example, in nursing, when a nurse is speaking to a patient with limited English, they may use simple words or a translator in order to ensure the patient understands.
