Which nurse demonstrates culturally competent care for a female patient from Russia?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Asking the patient about cultural factors that influence health care is demonstrating culturally competent care, along with interacting with each patient as a unique person who is a product of past experiences, beliefs, and values. Interacting with every patient from Russia in the same manner does not allow for the uniqueness of each person within the same culture. Learning the cultural variables of every group encountered can be valuable but it is impractical to learn about all cultures because each patient is unique. A better approach is to ask patients about their beliefs. Relying on previous experience with patients from Russia does not allow for the uniqueness of each person within the same culture.
