Respecting Diversity

Nurses care for people from all backgrounds. Being culturally competent means understanding and respecting patients’ beliefs, traditions, and values.

Why It Matters

Culturally competent care improves communication, builds trust, and leads to better health outcomes. It’s about being open-minded, asking questions, and adapting care to each patient’s needs.
