False, because knowledge deficit related to cultural competencies can affect the proper diagnosis, treatment regimen and decrease compliance to treatment.

False.

Cross-cultural misunderstands will affect clinical outcomes as the client will not share where there is a lack of trust. Also, the lack of understanding creates an environment that is lacking in trust and thus the client would not ask for clarification on anything that is not clearly understood. Of course, it will affect all aspects of the client and the care they are receiving.

False. Cross-cultural misunderstandings has left a part of the population untrusting of those providing care. Generationsof distrust has left people feeling mistreated and misunderstaood.Health literacy has even greater hurdles to overcome when those misunderstandings are not addressed. Follow up care will be absent.

False: cross-cultural misunderstandings will definitely have an impact on clinical outcomes. It can impact education about diagnosis, medications, treatments. If the patient doesn't understand the treatment they are more likely not going to adhere to care plan.

False

(False: Low levels of cultural competence can impede the process of making an accurate diagnosis, cause the provider to order contraindicated medication, and reduce patient adherence to recommended treatment.)
