While interviewing Ms. Li, the cultural considerations will be language barrier and cultural beliefs. Nearly 38% of Asian-Americans do not speak English fluently because about 2/3 rd of them are foreign born (Edelman, Kudzma and Mandel, 2014). I will first of all ensure that Ms. Li understands and speaks English if not an interpreter can be used preferably female because Asians are very conservatives and language barrier can interfere with receiving quality health care. Cultural beliefs about health and illness often conflict with western medicine. Asian cultures place great importance on respect. Hierarchies are much more visible in their society than in Western cultures, and their social behaviors reflects this. Ms. Li will be allowed to control the amount of eye contact that goes on during the interview because eye contact is not considered an essential to social interaction, instead it is often considered inappropriate and it is believed that subordinates shouldn’t make steady eye contact with their superiors. Asian folk medicine uses a wide variety of herbs for healing purposes, including roots, leaves, seeds, tree bark, and parts of flowers (Edelman, Kudzma & Mandle, 2014). Some aspects of Asian folk medicine have gained popularity within the professional care system. It is also important to identify and put into consideration the use of any medicinal remedies by Ms. Li that may cause complications with any prescribed medications.
The Abuse Assessment Screen (AAS) is an assessment tool designed to screen for domestic violence and abuse during pregnancy by asking by asking questions about current emotional, sexual and physical abuse before and during pregnancy (WHEC, 2018). It also assesses the frequency and severity if present.
During the assessment, if there is suspected or disclosed abuse, Ms. Li will be approached gently in a nonjudgmental and open way. I will listen and substantiate her decision to speak up about the abuse. I will inform her that this type of behavior is unacceptable and she does not deserve to be treated like that. It is also imperative to assist her, assess and ascertain that she is safe especially if the abuser is nearby. The appropriate authorities will be notified so that an investigation can take place.
