The statement "I'll warm the soup in the microwave for you" shows cultural sensitivity to the dietary preferences of the woman and is the most appropriate response.Cultural dietary preferences must be respected.Women may request that family members bring favourite or culturally appropriate foods to the hospital."What is that anyway?" does not show cultural sensitivity.
