Nurse Practitioner Program
The ethnic and cultural backgrounds of patients are becoming increasingly diverse. Advanced practice nurses need to appreciate that patients' cultural backgrounds impact how they view situations and actions. We cannot make assumptions about values, beliefs, and preferences based on cultural heritage, as individuals within a culture vary in their attitudes and values, and can change due to acculturation. However, advanced practice nurses need to understand how an individual patient is shaped by his or her culture. Open-ended questions help the healthcare provider to do this, regardless of the patient's background.
