While taking the Cross-Cultural Healthcare Quality Quiz there were several new concepts I learned. I also found some of the questions and rationale interesting. Three new things I learned:
(1) The question regarding “a conscientious healthcare provider cannot eliminate prejudices or assumptions”. I personally find the rational that most of us harbor assumptions about patients simply untrue. I think a true professional looks at a patient as a human being in need of assistance. I personally also feel that a great deal of prejudicial assumptions is rooted in the environment of our upbringing. As professionals, we have the ability to pattern and model ourselves after those surrounding us.
(2) The question regarding during a medical interview
