Problem
Statement
The problem
statement is a
scholarly statement
that justifies or
rationalizes that
this is problem. A
problem statement
must include
literature for
support and
justification.
Hispanics are more likely to have uncontrolled, untreated, or even
undiagnosed hypertension when compared to other ethnic groups
(Rodriguez et.al., 2015). Incidences of misinformation can occur
when patients and providers do not share a common language. There
is a lack of understanding or the inability to ask questions on the
patientàpart. In addition, many Spanish-speaking patients find that
the translation services, when available, are not adequate. These
patients often do not trust the information received from providers,
which can lead to unintentional noncompliance (Rodriguez et.al.,
2015).
