Since health is viewed from many perspectives, what is essential for a healthcare provider to do for a patient?
1. Be able to understand health from the patient's viewpoint.
2. Allow time for the patient to process what the health care provider is doing.
3. Ensure the patient agrees with the medical plan of care.
4. Be sure the patient understands what the healthcare provider is saying.

Explanation: 1. Being able to understand health from the patient's viewpoint will lessen the chances of misunderstandings arising between the patient and healthcare provider.
2. Allowing time for the patient to process what the healthcare provider is doing assumes the patient has no understanding of the health care system, which may be erroneous.
3. If treatment is given, the patient needs to agree with the plan of care, but this doesn't always have to be a medical plan of care, which assumes only a given medical regimen has validity.
4. While it is important for the patient to understand what the healthcare provider is saying, it implies that patients cannot understand healthcare language, which may be a misperception on the part of the healthcare provider to the patient.
