In this episode I'll help you with information and I'll give you some questions that you can ask your patients to ask about the family, La Familia.
Asking a Latino/Hispano patient about the family, you have to be prepared to receive information beyond the father, mother and children.
Latinos maintain a very close relationship with the extended family.
Uncles, cousins, grandparents and great-grandparents are often present in the most important moments and in the daily life of your patients.
