Activity 3: Understanding the Big Picture
In this activity you will continue your interaction with Hannah Healthcare, Lanesha and Grandma Marietta. The goal of this activity is to focus on how good questions can elicit important information that can affect adherence issues.

 

Activity 4: Exploring Interventions
In this activity you will participate in a simulated team meeting with your colleagues to explore possible interventions in the Lanesha Johnson case. Skill in cultural competency includes choosing appropriate interventions based on understanding the inside story, potential impacts, and a big picture perspective of the family.
