Culturally Responsive Care: Addressing the Needs of Diverse Patients in Clinical Practice

Assessment Description

Explore “Lippincott Advisor: Cultural Perspectives” and “Cultural Religious Competence in Clinical Practice,” located in topic Resources. Select a culture, community, or religion that is unfamiliar to you and review what makes it unique. Apply what you have learned about your selection to the following scenario:

You are admitting a 19-year-old female college student to the hospital for fevers. Describe what would be important to remember while you interview this patient. Explain how you would communicate with this patient reflecting a culturally responsive approach. Discuss the health care support systems available in your community for someone of this group. If no support systems are available in your community, identify a national resource.

Initial discussion question posts should be a minimum of 200 words and include at least two references cited using APA format. Responses to peers or faculty should be 100-150 words and include one reference. Refer to “RN-BSN DQ Rubric” and “RN-BSN Participation Rubric,” located in Class Resources, to understand the expectations for initial discussion question posts and participation posts, respectively.
