The Importance for Health Care Providers Communicate With the Patient in their Native Language
Journal Title: Nursing & Healthcare International Journal - Year 2019, Vol 3, Issue 6
Abstract
In all my years of experience teaching Medical Spanish to nursing students and other health care workers here in the triangle area in North Carolina, I have seen how important is to communicate with patients in their native language. Patients are able to understand what is happening with their health, relatives or their children’s health, diagnosis, treatments and procedures. For health care providers is easier to explain conditions of the patients, teach them about treatment options and recommendations.
