NUR3020 Week 3 Discussion
NUR3020 Week 3 Discussion
Question: Walden NUR3020 Week 3 Discussion.
Discussion: It’s a Small, Small World.
Health conditions, including heart disease and respiratory
infections, have no borders. What happens in one part of the world has ripple
effects through the other parts, including the United States. Technology has
created an even smaller world, with nurses in instant contact and eager to
share information.
You and your Walden nursing colleagues live and work around
this shrinking professional world. Your nursing experience working with diverse
populations presents a rich opportunity to share your international health
perspectives. This exercise is a growth opportunity in terms of how we see
ourselves, the world, and how we interact with our patients during the health
interview and health assessment process.
Medical staffIn this week’s Discussion, your stories will
illustrate relevant social and cultural differences among yourselves and your
patients. The collective experience will expand your individual nursing
knowledge; improve upon our cultural humility and perspectives, in order to
foster social and culturally-sensitive health interviews and assessments. This,
in turn, contributes to safer and higher quality outcomes for your patients.
Consider how your sensitive care is expressed through choice of your words,
maintaining a distance that is culturally appropriate, and utilizing other
techniques to negotiate through established social and cultural values. This
leads to patient trust and comfort and a respectful nurse-patient relationship.
