Health Management for Older Adults III - Cross Culture: Treating Your Elderly African American Patients

< i > Cross Culture: Treating Your Elderly African American Patients

Now, when I started this session, I expressed my interest in having you use this information as a guide as you seek to broaden your cultural knowledge about the elderly African-American client.

If I were to rank order the issues discussed here I would place as number one, the need to show respect as recognized by this age group.

Such actions as eye contact, addressing the client as Mr., Mrs, or Ms. will allow this person to feel valued.
