Cultural Influences
In this first discussion, you will introduce yourself by sharing a picture, song, or piece of artwork that reflects your personal definition of culture. You and your peers will then discuss how culture impacts an individual’s perceptions, beliefs, habits, and nursing practice.
Create one initial post and respond to at least two of your classmates.
For your initial post, address the following:
1. Briefly introduce yourself to the class by sharing a picture, song, or piece of artwork that reflects your personal definition of culture. Be sure to include a citation if applicable. How does the item you shared reflect your personal definition of culture?
2. What is the difference between culture and ethnicity?
3. What nursing consideration do you feel is important to individuals’ cultural representation and should be incorporated into individual care? Why is it important?
4. Briefly discuss barriers to nurses developing cultural awareness.
