Giải thích

Culturally competent care means recognizing that norms for eye contact, personal space, and touch differ, and adapting without judgment while verifying understanding through methods such as teach-back. Demanding eye contact can shame the patient and damage trust. Interpreting the behavior as dishonesty or noncooperation records a biased and inaccurate impression in the chart.
