This approach encourages mutual respect and understanding, allows for cultural sensitivity, and helps to establish a therapeutic relationship between the nurse and client. It is important to recognize and acknowledge cultural differences in health practices, and work collaboratively with clients to develop care plans that incorporate both traditional and professional health care practices.
