A culturally competent health care professional should be able to consistently and thoroughly recognize and understand the differences in his or her culture and that of the care recipient; respect the individual's values and beliefs; and adjust the approach of delivering care to meet each individual's needs and expectations.Simply recognizing and accepting cultural diversity and understanding the pathophysiology of disease processes are insufficient measures to reach cultural competency in health care.
