A)As healthcare providers, it is imperative to recognize common prejudices. Prejudices are prejudgments about cultural groups or vulnerable populations that are unfavorable or false because they have been formed without the background knowledge and context upon which to form an accurate opinion. Healthcare providers must acquire this background knowledge to develop their cultural competence. The nurse cannot treat every client as having the same needs, assume that the emergency department does not present a unique context that must be understood on its own terms, or base his standard of care on what best serves a single cultural group, dominant or not.
