Culturally Appropriate Geriatric Care: Assessment Older Asian Indian immigrants may not speak English and may need a health care interpreter or translator. Modesty is highly valued among Asian Indians, and patients usually feel more comfortable with same sex-care providers. Direct eye contact from women to men may be limited. Sensitivity and care should be taken in situations that may cause the patient embarrassment, such as wearing an examination gown, which the patient may consider too short. Hindu women wear a thread around their necks (mangalsutra) and it should not be removed during the exam. The patient may expect the doctors to have all the answers and make all the decisions. As a result, the patient takes a passive role, answering but not asking questions, and waiting for physicians to impart their diagnosis and recommendations.
