Discuss a patient of another culture. How can the health care professional communicate in presenting patient education? Consider language, family, cultural differences, and method of communication

 . The culture within a group is made up of beliefs, morals, norms, and practices that are learned and shared. (Falvo, 2011) This includes language, traditions, customs, modes of communication, and elements that distinguish one culture from another. (Falvo, 2011)Cultural differences between the health care professional and the patient can create barriers to patient teaching.The health providers inability to put their cultural and religious perspectives aside can make it challenging for the patient to effectively understand the health care providers educational plan given. Communication problems can arise in cross-cultural patient teaching.For patient teaching to be effective the health professional needs to communicate with the patient both verbal and nonverbal methods.
