Discussion: Patients from multicultural backgroundsDiscussion: Patients from multicultural
backgroundsrespondAs healthcare providers, we should always be prepared to care for
patients from multicultural backgrounds and be aware of the cultural differences and values
of different populations and the impact culture has on health and wellness. In recent years,
there has been a big emphasis on educating healthcare providers about how to give
culturally competent care (Yeager & Bauer-Wu, 2013). Cultural humility is incorporated
into how we care for a diverse population of patients and communities along with cultural
competence. Even though these concepts are alike, they differ in goals and outcomes.
Cultural humility is a lifelong process in which an individual uses self-reflection and critique
and not only learns about someone else’s culture and cultural needs but to examine self and
explore one’s own personal beliefs and identity (Yeager & Bauer-Wu, 2013). Cultural
humility goes beyond cultural competence and emphasizes the importance of providing
care that is culturally competent, examining oneself for personal bias, beliefs, and values, as
well as committing to a lifelong learning process. When incorporating cultural humility into
care, professionals must approach patients with openness and readiness to learn.
Assumptions should not be made, and individualized can be achieved.Three attributes that
are emphasized in cultural humility include self-awareness, humbleness, and openness.
Openness is one of the first steps in developing cultural humility and is described as being
open to explore and learn new ideas (Foronda, Baptiste, Reinholdt, & Ousman, 2016).
Humbleness understanding and accepting that all humans are equal and that no person is
better than another (Foronda et al., 2016). When a person is humble during interactions
with others, personal beliefs are set aside, and the terms superiority and dominance are
forgotten. Self-awareness is defined as recognizing your own values, beliefs, strengths, and
limitations, in addition to the ways someone’s views may appear to others (Foronda et al.,
2016).It is important for healthcare professionals to understand the scope of diversity to
deliver individualized quality care and practice cultural humility (Lightfoot & Quintana,
2017). With each patient interaction, every nurse should be open and accepting to a
patient’s opinions and cultural norms. At the end of a long day, we should reflect on the
interactions experienced and on how to improve your practice and communication skills. As
a result, we are not only providing the best individualized and culturally acceptable care but
also creating a great nurse-patient relationship and improving our knowledge base and
skills, which will ultimately improve patient outcomes.ORDER NOW FOR ORIGINAL,

your part and you can expect your grade to suffer accordingly. Papers with numerous
misspelled words and grammatical mistakes will be penalized. Read over your paper – in
silence and then aloud – before handing it in and make corrections as necessary. Often it is
advantageous to have a friend proofread your paper for obvious errors. Handwritten
corrections are preferable to uncorrected mistakes.Use a standard 10 to 12 point (10 to 12
characters per inch) typeface. Smaller or compressed type and papers with small margins
or single-spacing are hard to read. It is better to let your essay run over the recommended
number of pages than to try to compress it into fewer pages.Likewise, large type, large
margins, large indentations, triple-spacing, increased leading (space between lines),
increased kerning (space between letters), and any other such attempts at “padding” to
increase the length of a paper are unacceptable, wasteful of trees, and will not fool your
professor.The paper must be neatly formatted, double-spaced with a one-inch margin on
the top, bottom, and sides of each page. When submitting hard copy, be sure to use white
paper and print out using dark ink. If it is hard to read your essay, it will also be hard to
follow your argument.
