The future of transcultural nursing care lies in finding ways to promote cultural competence in nursing students. How can this goal be best accomplished?
A) By offering multicultural health studies in nursing curricula
B) By enhancing the content of community nursing classes
C) By requiring students to care primarily for patients from other ethnic groups
D) By screening applicants according to their cultural competence
Ans: A
Feedback:
Nursing programs are exploring creative ways to promote cultural competence and humanistic care in nursing students, including offering multicultural health studies in their curricula. Enhancing the content of community nursing classes would not necessarily achieve this goal. Matching students to patients from other cultures is often impractical and applicants are not screened by their cultural competence.
