Anticipating diversity puts the nurse in a position of guarding against stereotyping and opens the nurse to cultural awareness. Promoting feelings of acceptance prevents cultural pain. Learning about the position of the patient facilitates empathy. The least useful strategy would be to use direct eye contact and touch. In a cross-cultural encounter, strategies known to be acceptable to the patient are preferable. Direct eye contact and touch may be offensive to patients whose culture calls for more reserved cultural practices. Stereotyping may lead to culturally insensitive care decisions. |
