Impact of cultural diversity on nurses and patients
Introduction
The nursing profession requires the skills to embrace culture diversity of its patients and provide an inclusive environment which enables them to learn the healthcare knowledge. Nurses deal with patients from diverse culture having different religion, values, beliefs and norms. The diversity issue in patients affects the nursing performance as the teaching method and tools have to be different each time. Moreover, the nurses have to comply with the patient's culture to understand the problems and issues (Lowe & Archibald, 2009, p.11).
