Info

Tips • Use a non‐confrontational tone. • Be receptive to family suggestions. • Friendly physical contact between female patient and female physician and between a male patient and male physician. • Ask patients if they would like to have family members present during visits. • Provide a room large enough to accommodate the family.
Tips • Acknowledge male family members who are present. • Males are typically the head of household. • Explain why you use trained medical interpreters and not family members. • Never use children as interpreters. • Ask open‐ended questions, such as, “please describe what you are feeling, ” rather than “do you have pain?”
