The nurse will discuss socialization, which is the process of learning and adopting the norms and values of a culture. The nurse will also discuss acculturation, which is the process of adjusting to a new culture. Finally, the nurse will discuss assimilation, which is the process of fully adopting a new culture and giving up the old one. Ethnicity and heritage consistency may be relevant to the patient's distress but are not directly related to acculturation.
