Cultural Competency In APN Week 9
Cultural Competency In APN Week 9
Cultural competency means to be respectful and responsive to
the health beliefs and practices—and cultural and linguistic needs
—of diverse population groups. Discuss strategies to provide care
to patients who are from different cultures and may have different
cultural beliefs. For example, what might the APN do if the patient
refuses a high-quality, evidence-based treatment meant to cure
the illness because of cultural beliefs? How can the APN respect
cultural beliefs while still providing quality care? In what ways can
the nurse do more than simply “do no harm?”
