Using the cultural assessment guide is essential when working with specific cultures. The assessment should include ethnic/racial background, language and communication patterns, cultural values and norms, biocultural factors, religious and health beliefs and practices. Asian Americans believe illness results from an imbalance of yin and yang forces. They use traditional healers and also exercise traditional self-care practices before using Western medical practices.
