Answer:

I believe the answer is D.

Step-by-step explanation:

Besides reducing medical errors, enhancing data collection and improving preventive care among patients, Becker’s Hospital Review suggests culturally aware healthcare builds mutual respect and understanding that increases patient trust, promotes more inclusive health responsibilities and expands patient inclusion on the social level.
