Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In Arab American culture, it is very common to have many visitors and for visits to be relatively long. However, if the patient is getting tired, suggesting shorter visits to the visitors is a culturally sensitive way to address the issue while still respecting their customs. Limiting the number of visitors or only allowing family members to visit may not be well received by the patient or their family. Requiring visitors to check in at the front desk is not necessary in this situation.
