When a health care professional encounters an Asian patient in their practice, what are at least three characteristics he/she should consider in order to improve communication and cultural competence in delivering services to this patient and tell why those characteristics are important to consider.
Three characteristics that should be considered would include: family, communication and the concept of time. Family matters to Asian patients, as this is their foundation for strength and support. Communication is important, with these patients more focused on body languages and pauses (to signify substance vs. The actual words). Time will be different between the two cultures, as Asian patients will place less of an emphasis on doing something at the time they are suppose to (instead they are focused on general time frames).

Culture is: the traditions, history, experiences and customs of a person or group. The two are different as values will define how everyone will behave, while culture will give them a sense of appreciation. The two are interconnected, as the underlying culture will shape and reflect values in the future. Growing up in rural environment had an effect on cultural factors, as it taught me to always remain physically fit and to eat more healthy foods. This is different from the university culture, where many people are always in a rush (eating fatty foods and not exercising as much as they should). ("Values," 2010) ("Culture," 2010)

Health DisparitiesIntroductionObesity is a health problem that disproportionately affects African Americans over the white population, particularly when it comes to women; as a result, African American women are at greater risk of developing diabetes, having cardiac arrest, or suffering from heart disease (Banerjee et al., 2018). While obesity is not a problem that affects only people of color, it is one that affects them more than others: 20.5% of African

Key to this point is the idea that Canadian health care costs less because
