The Language Barrier

A problem that has been presented in our studies raises many questions. We will be presented with the task of caring for people who speak different languages. Communication may be difficult if not impossible at times. How can we learn enough of every language, of every culture, to be able to give proper care to each and every individual? The odds seem to stack up against us. Canada is a multicultural nation, and the nation survives. Out health care system must continue to grow and accommodate the changes in our people and our ways. Perhaps, we need to look at this challenge as a gift rather than a burden. What an opportunity we have to learn and grow in more ways than we can even begin to understand.
