The role of the nurse as a culturally diverse practitioner

    examine the role of the nurse as a culturally diverse practitioner and create a PowerPoint presentation. Identify your target audience (ie. staff nurses, pre-licensure nursing students, etc.) and create a PowerPoint presentation. A nurse educator is preparing an orientation on culture and the workplace. There is a need to address the many cultures that seek healthcare services and how to better understand the culture. Choose a culture that you feel less knowledgeable about and address the following by including two to three examples of each bullet point: • Compare and contrast this culture with your own culture. • Provide examples of the historical, socioeconomic, political, educational, and topographical aspects of this culture. • Report the appropriate interdisciplinary interventions for hereditary, genetic, and endemic diseases and high-risk health behaviors within this culture. • Determine the influences of their value systems on childbearing and bereavement practices. • Name their sources of strength, spirituality, and magico-religious beliefs associated with health and health care. • Outline health-care practices, including acute versus preventive care; barriers to health care; the meaning of pain and the sick role; and traditional folk medicine practices. • Identify cultural issues related to learning styles, autonomy, and educational preparation of content for this culture.
