There are many resources that address how different cultures deal with a variety of medical and social issues such a childbirth, death, chronic illness, etc. But it is also vital that you explore each patient's observance of their cultural "norms". We are all individuals and our experiences may have as much to do with how we handle situations as our heritage. One of the best ways to practice culturally sensitive care is to simply ask questions and do not make assumptions.
