A medical assistant is tasked with organizing a group educational session on managing hypertension. The attendees come from a variety of cultural backgrounds. During the session, the medical assistant notices that some participants are not engaging in the discussion. What is the most appropriate action for the medical assistant to take to ensure impartial conduct and provide equal learning opportunities?
Direct questions only to the participants who are already engaged to keep the session flowing smoothly
Approach the situation by inviting questions and encouraging participation from all attendees
Limit the discussion to general information to avoid challenging questions that could arise from cultural differences
Dismiss the group's lack of engagement as a cultural disinterest in the topic
The correct answer is to 'Approach the situation by inviting questions and encouraging participation from all attendees,' as it promotes inclusivity and recognizes that different individuals may have varying comfort levels with participation, possibly influenced by cultural norms. Additionally, it aims to involve all participants without making assumptions about their lack or presence of interest or knowledge based on their background. 'Dismissing the group’s lack of engagement as a cultural disinterest in the topic' is incorrect because it assumes disengagement based on stereotypical views of cultural attitudes towards health, which could lead to unequal learning opportunities. 'Limiting the discussion to general information to avoid challenging questions' is incorrect because it does not address the underlying issue of engagement and could prevent some participants from receiving the full benefits of the session. 'Directing questions only to the participants who are already engaged' is incorrect because it neglects to include and encourage those who are not actively participating and could lead to biased treatment.
