When providing an in-service to new staff nurses, the nurse educator discusses expectations concerning the acceptance of client cultural beliefs
Which statement by a participant indicates the need for further teaching?
1. "The acceptance of different cultural values is needed to provide quality nursing care."
2. "Cultural values may dictate my client assignments on the nursing unit."
3. "My own cultural values are irrelevant to the acceptance of the values of others."
4. "My knowledge of the cultural values of others will increase in time."
Correct Answer: 3
The knowledge and acceptance of one's own cultural values is essential to the acceptance and awareness of the values of the client. Failure to have self-awareness can result in ethnocentrism. The cultural values and beliefs of the client may require "sensitive" scheduling. Time does allow the nurse to develop additional knowledge of many issues in nursing, including cultural considerations.
