Once done, present an analysis of the following case study answering the questions below. Mrs. Li Huan, a 79-year-old Chinese American widow who lives alone in New York City’s Chinatown recently had a cerebrovascular accident (CVA) or stroke. Mrs. Li has right-sided paralysis with partial loss of voluntary movement and sensation in her right arm and leg. Mrs. Li has weak facial muscles, difficulty with speech, and drooling. She experiences numbness and tingling in her arms and legs. Mrs. Li is going to a rehabilitation center known for delivering culturally competent interprofessional care where she is cared for by a team of credentialed healthcare providers: Dr. Indira Patel, nurse J.J. Johnson, physical therapist Mohammad Abu Said, dietitian Maria Gonzalez, and Chinese American herbalist Chen Minzhe. (Note: In traditional Chinese culture, a person’s last name or surname is written first, followed by their first name. Therefore, the patient’s last name is Li and the herbalist’s last name is Chen. It is proper etiquette to call a person of Chinese background by his/her title, in this case, Mrs. Li and Mr. Chen until the individual gives permission to use his/her first name.

Therefore, it is important to ask the patient, “What is your first name? What is your last name?” Note the correct order on the patient’s chart for other members of the team.) How do members of the interprofessional team assess Mrs. Li’s literacy, diet, and medications, including herbal medicines being provided by her herbalist, Mr. Chen? How do the nurse and other team members determine if complementary or integrative treatments, such as medicinal herbs, are helpful, harmf

Introduction Cultural competence in healthcare is essential to delivering effective and respectful care to diverse patient populations. As global demographics shift, healthcare organizations are increasingly called to adapt and enhance their cultural awareness and sensitivity. The case of Mrs. Li Huan, a Chinese American stroke patient, exemplifies the importance of interdisciplinary team collaboration in providing culturally competent care. Addressing her medical, cultural, and linguistic needs involves careful assessment, respectful communication, and integration of traditional Chinese healing practices within the framework of Western medicine. This paper analyzes the assessment strategies, the role of complementary treatments, and strategies to ensure safe and effective care for Mrs. Li, emphasizing the importance of cultural competence in nursing and interprofessional healthcare. Assessment of Mrs. Li’s Literacy, Diet, and Medications Assessment begins with understanding Mrs. Li’s health literacy to ensure she comprehends her condition and treatment plan. Healthcare providers should employ culturally appropriate and plain language communication, avoiding medical jargon, and utilize interpreters proficient in Mandarin or Cantonese if necessary. This includes verbal assessments of her understanding of her prescribed medications, herbal treatments, and dietary restrictions, accounting for any language barriers. Dietary assessment must incorporate understanding Mrs. Li’s traditional Chinese cuisine preferences and cultural dietary rules. For example, Chinese dietary practices emphasize balance, such as yin and yang foods, which may influence her nutritional needs during recovery. The team must respect these preferences while ensuring adequate nutrition to support her healing process. The dietitian, Maria Gonzalez, can evaluate her dietary habits through direct conversation, visual assessment of her food choices, and collaboration with her family or caregivers if ava
