On what should nurses focus in order to keep up with the globalization of health care?
1. Medical care development
2. Advanced practice nursing
3. Culturally competent care
4. Standards of practice
Correct Answer: 3
The shrinking of the worldwide community requires that nurses become more knowledgeable about and accepting of cultural difference. Nurses need to be aware of different beliefs about health and illness and different cultural healing practices. The nurses of tomorrow need to be more than culturally aware and need to strive for cultural competence. Medical care development is not within the scope of nursing. Advanced practice nursing certification is done by ANCC and not at the local hospital level. There is not testing to determine the standard of practice. The standard of practice is determined by local and regional processes of care delivery.
