Document Summary
Hss2102 chapter 3 additional reading part ii; cultural sensitivity and awareness in the delivery of health care -- selected examples in clinical practice. An amish woman undergoes a cesarean delivery. After surgery, the woman and her husband are interviewed by a social worker who was called by a nurse to see the couple because they had no health insurance. The social worker immediately begins to tell them how to enroll in medicaid. They are visibly upset and will no longer talk to the social worker. They refuse to complete any paperwork for medicaid. They ask to leave the hospital as soon as possible: culturally sensitive approach, the social worker is called by a nurse because the couple does not have health insurance. The social worker is aware that this is an amish couple and knows that generally amish people do not believe in or accept what they consider to be welfare.
