Discussion Prompt
The culturally competent APN is knowledgeable and respectful of diverse cultural beliefs and practices, partners with patients to develop a care regimen that produces the desired health outcomes within the context of the patient’s cultural values, and advocates for developing culturally appropriate patient care services.
Using recommendations from your assigned readings, discuss strategies the APN can use to provide culturally competent care to patients who are from different cultures and may have different beliefs and practices. Identify at least one (1) resource that you can use to promote culturally competent care in your practice setting.
Guided Response:
- Respond to at least 2 of your peers, one on a different day than the main post.
- In your response, it is important to be respectful, make your response meaningful, and express yourself clearly. It is a best practice to not use unsupported personal opinions, generalizations, or language that might be viewed as offensive to others. If you are trying to extend a discussion, consider using probing questions. If providing a disagreement to a peer post, remain respectful, considerate, and maintain an academic tone.
