Explain why it is important for health care providers to consider patients' social needs
Being sensitive to patients' social needs will improve a health care provider's relationships with patients and their families. A patient whose social and emotional needs are met is better prepared to cope with the stress of an illness. Patients are different and will go about meeting their social needs in different ways. By understanding that all behavior is an attempt to meet some physical, emotional, or social need, you will be better prepared to understand the sometimes puzzling behaviors you encounter.
