Working with patients from unfamiliar cultures can be challenging, especially if the patient has limited English skills. Ways to improve nursing care delivered to these patients includes using a professional interpreter, assessing relevant cultural beliefs, allowing items that hold special religious or cultural significance to remain with the woman, and finding community resources that are culturally acceptable and appropriate. Restricting visitors may cause resentment and suspicion.
