Cultural beliefs and health care

Week 5

Culture and Healthcare

Learning about culture is interesting and fun…but how does that relate to

assessment? This is a HOLISTIC health assessment class, and we want you to be

able to consider the whole patient, including cultural aspects. How will knowing

about culture be important to the nurse? This week, on the discussion board, locate

a professional article from the UTA library website or from Google Scholar, from the

last 5 years, that addresses cultural beliefs and health care in some way.

Summarize/paraphrase the article, cite it according to APA standards, and then put

the reference at the bottom of the page. This should be done in no more than 2 – 3

paragraphs. COPY and PASTE your work into an entry on the discussion board—

opening attachment after attachment quickly becomes tedious. Entitle the

discussion entry with your name and the subject, for example: “Doe, Jane: Preterm

birth and culture”.

You will receive points as per the rubric and instruction template this week by

posting your summary, and by replying to 2 other students with a substantive

comment.
