Answer to Question 1

1
Rationale: Make every attempt to openly discuss cultural conflicts in order to actively address suspicions and distortions. Avoiding conflict may result in chronic strained communication, insensitivity, and exclusion that thwart culturally competent care. Recognize the importance of fostering transcultural communication with other health care providers, and take into account the presence of a multicultural workforce.
