Scenario:
Zhang Wei is a 54 year old man who was born in China and immigrated to the US. He lives with his wife and two teenage daughters, ages 15 and 19. He lives in Chinatown near your office and owns his own Chinese restaurant. He works 70 plus hours a week during which much of his time is on his feet. Lately, he has had a chronic cough that has not gone away despite using traditional Chinese medicines. His daughters, who were raised in the US, finally convinced him to come to your office, to which he reluctantly agreed. Question 1: What might Zhang Wei expect of the health care system based upon his cultural background, and how do those expectations compare with the standard operating procedures of the Western (allopathic) health care system? Your response should emphasize the interpersonal expectations (i.e. bedside manner).
Question 2: Apply Giger and Davidhizar’s Transcultural Assessment Model, analyzing at least 3 cultural phenomena that may apply in this scenario to assess the client’s potential needs for culture-specific care.
