Question

At the conclusion of a cultural competence training session for a group of dieticians, participants are provided with a binder includng information from the training and a glossary of terms relevant to the subject matter. A dietician who attended the session places the binder in her desk and does not look at the material again. Provide an example of how she might use the glossary of terms to assist in her day-to-day interaction with customers?

Answer 1

Answer: Effective communication is one of the major tool for the interaction with the patients. For the effective communication, it is necessary to provide cultural competence environment. This would enable the client to feel safe, easy to discuss their problem. For example, the use of the glossary while interacting with the client belongs to the different country. The dietitian doesn't understand French language, so the dietitian can find out the major words used for the interaction, explaining the data or health information. This would lead her to get a proper sentence and could deliver a quality of care to the client. This will enable the dietitian to clear the major things to the clients.
