The nurse must perform the procedures competently and safely, taking into consideration any special needs of the patient. Gender diversity occurs with the identification of gender roles that may affect care delivery. Some patients may prefer care from nurses of the same gender. This preference may stem from generational norms, personal comfort, or cultural considerations. With life span diversity, interventions must always be age or developmental level appropriate. Disability diversity requires that interventions be individualized for each patient and adapted for any limitations. The nurse must ensure safe practice in relation to patient body size (morphology diversity) and should seek additional support or equipment when necessary. |
