Chapter 8 Reflections
Reflection Questions
1. Why is it important for nurses to be aware of the health practices associated with different cultures?
2. Why is cultural humility such an important part of cultural competence?
3. Why do you think the Transcultural Nursing Society included “multicultural workforce” as one of their twelve standards of practice for culturally competent care?
4. The concept of cultural blindness is the belief that all cultural groups are the same and share identical experiences. How would experiencing cultural blindness be a barrier to diversity and inclusion?
