Feedback:
Cultural humility requires community health nurses to continually self-evaluate and critique their own cultural assumptions and advocate for their clients in a nonpaternalistic way. To do this, they should ask open-ended questions (not yes or no questions) about beliefs and practices of the client and family; ask about traditions; and ask what the client does think may have caused the illness and how the client has already tried to address it. Asking if the cause of the illness is spiritual is a yes or no question.
