Synopsis: The text helps nursing students transform their thinking so they develop into culturally competent nurses capable of safe, thoughtful, and ethical care of individuals, families, groups, and communities of diverse backgrounds. It provides a framework that will improve health and nursing care to minority, underrepresented, disenfranchised, and marginalized populations. The authors provide students the tools they will need as nurses to effectively perform cultural assessments and incorporate their findings into their interventions. With more culture specific examples in this edition, the text offers the knowledge needed to provide culturally competent and contextually meaningful care for all clients. Fully updated in its seventh edition, this resource creates an interdisciplinary knowledge foundation reflecting the cultural changes in the clinical nursing environment.
