What is an example of a system barrier to cultural competence?
a. No kosher diet options on menu
b. No sinks in every patient room

d. A strict and enforced policy against more than one visitor in the ICU
D
System barriers are due to the agency's structure and policies that do not support cultural diver-sity. A strict and enforced ICU visitor policy, for example, will impact those cultures with a strong emphasis on the extended family. Provider barriers are those such as a nurse may have, including lack of information about a culture. Including kosher diet options on the menu and making changes to room environments (including privacy curtains and sinks in every room) are provider barriers that can be addressed.
