Feedback:
When developing cultural knowledge, the nurse would seek resources to increase understanding of different sociocultural groups and become familiar with culturally/ethnically diverse groups, worldviews, beliefs, practices, lifestyles, and problem-solving styles. Examining one's personal sociocultural heritage and personal biases and prejudices are components involved with developing cultural awareness. Performing a competent cultural assessment and advocating for social justice are components involved with developing cultural skills.
