How can I better understand the needs and concerns of patients from diverse cultural backgrounds?

The best thing is to first of all read about different cultures and get an idea about your patients, especially their food preferences, family dynamics, and possibly religious conformities. Next, I would ask questions that would promote communication between you and your patients. This interpersonal communication style can answer a lot of questions for you. And then tailor your care plans to accommodate their needs also don’t forget even after discharge their needs must be made so ask questions what they may need to recover at home this is how we learn about different cultures within our society.
