Is it genuinely true when the patient and provider come from different cultural backgrounds, the medical history obtained may not be accurate?

There is such a thing as a cultural barrier. When someone is not familiar with another culture, mistakes can be made. They may be made in the form of saying something that is not accepted in one culture but it is fine in another culture.

The same takes place in the medical field. Cultures may be different from those who come into the country from another country. It could also be different within the United States when people have different cultures because their socioeconomic status may play a part in the misunderstanding and confusion.

When there is confusion between a nurse and client, their medical information that is charted might be wrong. Then other problems may ensure from these mistakes.
