Discuss in your own words, an ethical challenge that healthcare providers face when delivering patient care, focusing on issues of professionalism, patient-centered practices, and cultural awareness. How do stereotypes, bias, and a lack of cultural competence affect patient outcomes, and what role do these factors play in contributing to health disparities among diverse populations in the U.S.? Analyze how ethical decision-making and professionalism can help mitigate these issues and improve patient care in a multicultural healthcare system.
Use specific examples from current healthcare practices, research, or personal experience to support your argument. Proper citations must be used.
