Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Divergent populations enter the health-care system with differing beliefs about health care and wellness and differing expectations for the outcomes of such experiences.Understanding these expectations will help the nurse plan care that has a better chance of meeting these expectations.Learning languages and becoming familiar with folk remedies is helpful as well,but these two solutions are very limited in scope and a nurse cannot hope to become proficient in all the languages/behaviors of every population seen,leaving some patients with a lessened experience.Explaining policies is important too,but simply telling someone the rules does not take his or her cultural norms into account and may not be successful.
