1stStep in Nursing Process is Assessment
Assessment defined: The evaluation or estimation of the nature, quality, or ability of someone or something.
Assessment described: Initial assessment interview identifies cultural behaviors, health beliefs, illness practices, and cultural needs. (This information is helpful in planning culturally sensitive care.)

Learning Objective #3: It is important for the nurse to have self knowledge about pre judgment and bias related to culture and diversity.
What does culture have to do with health care ? Cultural patterns are learned by people living together in a society. Culture influences the customs, beliefs, and values about wellness, health, illness, birth and death.
Learning Objective #5: Information obtained during a cultural assessment interview is of value.
Learning Objective #3 Describe the importance of the nurse s self knowledge regarding prejudgment and bias related to culture and diversity. and why should I care?
Male dominated culture What is the best way to handle this when possible?
What if your patient is from a different culture than your own, speaks another language, and doesn t make eye contact with you? Do you get another nurse who is of the same culture? Do you wait and come back later?
