Which action indicates the nurse is meeting a primary goal of cultural competent care for patients?
a. Provides care to transgender patients
b. Provides care to restore relationships
c. Provides care to patients that is individualized
d. Provides care to surgical patients
ANS: A
Although cultural competence and patient-centered care both aim to improve health care quality, their focus is slightly different. The primary aim of cultural competence care is to reduce health disparities and increase health equity and fairness by concentrating on people of color and other marginalized groups, like transgender patients. Patient-centered care, rather than cultural competence care, provides individualized care and restores an emphasis on personal relationships; it aims to elevate quality for all patients.
