Your culture influences your mental and emotional health. a. true b. false

A. True

Explanation:

The increase in immigration has highlighted the cultural differences that sometimes make communication with the patient difficult and, consequently, prevent a correct diagnosis and treatment. Knowing what is the usual behavior of a doctor and what are the cultural features of the patient who visits him can be the first step to correct this lack of understanding.

Thus, something as simple as taking a capsule can be problematic for Muslims, Jews or Hindus, since they are usually made with jelly from the bones and skin of animals, including pig and cow. Cow and pig insulins and blood transfusions may also be rejected for moral, spiritual, ethnic reasons or for the belief that they are contagious.

In any case, knowing the cultural differences in the perception of health and disease not only facilitates the treatment of all patients, but can also be especially enriching.
