Mr. L presents to the clinic with severe groin pain and a history of kidney stones. Mr. L’s son tells you that for religious reasons, his father wishes to keep any stone that is passed into the urine filter that he has been using. What is your most appropriate response? a. ―With your father’s permission, we will examine the stone and request that it be returned to him.‖ b. ―The stone must be sent to the lab for examination and therefore cannot be kept.‖ c. ―We cannot let him keep his stone because it violates our infection control policy.‖ d. ―We don’t know yet if your father has another kidney stone, so we must analyze this one.‖ ANS: A We should be willing to modify the delivery of health care in a manner that is respectful and in keeping with the patient’s cultural background. ―With your father’s permission, we will examine the stone and request that it be returned to him‖ is the most appropriate response. ―The stone must be sent to the lab for examination and therefore cannot be kept‖ and ―We don’t know yet if your father has another kidney stone, so we must analyze this one‖ do not support the patient’s request. ―We cannot let him keep his stone because it violates our infection control policy‖ does not provide a reason that it would violate an infection control policy.

The motivation of the healthcare professional to ―want to‖ engage in the process of becoming culturally competent, not ―have to,‖ is called a. cultural knowledge. b. cultural awareness. c. cultural desire. d. cultural skill. ANS: C Cultural encounters are the continuous process of interacting with patients from culturally diverse backgrounds to validate, refine, or modify existing values, beliefs, and practices about a cultural group and to develop cultural desire, cultural awareness, cultural skill, and cultural knowledge. Cultural awareness is deliberate self-examination and in-depth exploration of one’s biases, stereotypes, prejudices, assumptions, and ―-isms‖ that one holds about individuals and groups who are different from them. Cultural knowledge is the process of seeking and obtaining a sound educational base about culturally and ethnically diverse groups. Cultural skill is the ability to collect culturally relevant data regarding the patient’s presenting problem, as well as accurately performing a culturally based physical assessment in a culturally sensitive manner. Cultural desire is the motivation of the healthcare professional to want to engage in the process of becoming culturally competent, not have to.

The other questions do not explore the patient’s cultural beliefs about health problems.

ANS: B The English worry about being overheard and tend to speak in modulated voices so, when they lean in toward you, they are probably poised to ask a question.

An aspect of traditional Western medicine that may be troublesome to many Hispanics, Native Americans, Asians, and Middle Eastern groups is Western medicine’s attempts to a. use a holistic approach that views a particular medical problem as part of a bigger picture. b. determine a specific cause for every problem in a precise way. c. establish harmony between a person and the entire cosmos. d. restore balance in an individual’s life. ANS: B A more scientific approach to healthcare problem solving, in which a cause can be determined for every problem in a precise way, is a Western approach. Hispanics, Native Americans, Asians, and Arabs embrace a more holistic approach. Using a holistic approach, establishing harmony between a person and the entire cosmos, and restoring balance in an individual’s life would not be troublesome to many Hispanics, Native Americans, Asians, and Arabs.

Mr. Abdul is a 40-year-old Middle Eastern man who presents to the office for a first visit with the complaint of new abdominal pain. You are concerned about violating a cultural prohibition when you prepare to do his rectal examination. The best tactic would be to a. forego the examination for fear of violating cultural norms. b. ask a colleague from the same geographic area if this examination is acceptable. c. inform the patient of the reason for the examination and ask if it is acceptable to him. d. refer the patient to a provider more knowledgeable about cultural differences. ANS: C Asking, if you are not sure, is far better than making a damaging mistake. Not completing the examination could cause the patient further harm. Asking a colleague from the same geographic area if this examination is acceptable may not be appropriate. Referring the patient to a provider more knowledgeable about cultural differences at this point is unnecessary.
