Community Assessment and Interventions Assignment

Cultural Competence
Review the media presentations and Chapter 7 in the course textbook. Focus particularly on presentation on cultural competence and on pages 146–152 in the textbook which discusses cultural competence. Also, review the Douglas, et al. article on “Standards of Practice for Culturally Competent Nursing Care.” Then, select a major ethnic or religious group from your community. With this group in mind, respond to the following questions: What major ethnic or religious groups are present in your community whose culture is different from your own? Discuss your assumptions about this group. How might a nurse’s positive or negative assumptions influence the care provided, and thus health outcomes? Support your response with references from the professional nursing literature. Community Assessment and Interventions Assignment
