This is an example of cultural imposition-the act of imposing one's cultural beliefs,values,and practices on individuals from another culture.Cultural conflict is a perceived threat that may arise from a misunderstanding of expectations when nurses are unable to respond appropriately to another individual's cultural practice because of unfamiliarity with the practice.Cultural blindness occurs when people state that everyone is treated the same,regardless of their cultural orientation.Cultural relativism recognizes that clients have different approaches to health,and that each culture should be judged on its own merit and not on the nurse's personal beliefs.
