C.Teach the resident about your customs and culture so that she will understand: "where you're coming from".

D.Avoid discussing Hinduism at all so that you can avoid potentially embarrassing situations or conversations.A Taking time to learn about the religion, cultures, and customs of your residents will make you a more effective CNA. Talking only about your culture will not promote good communication with residents. Do not assume that residents with a different culture or religion cannot understand English. Finally, if a resident does not speak English, speaking English more loudly or slowly, will not help improve communication with this person.
