This assignment addresses Program Completion Outcome: 2, Course Learning Outcome: 7, & Baccalaureate Essentials: 3, 6, & 9
Purpose of Assignment:
The purpose of this assignment is for students to apply knowledge of multicultural diversity and racial and ethnic disparities in health and evaluate cultural competency and nursing advocacy. As nurses, we encounter diversity in all aspects of our work from encounters with our colleague, to caring for our patients and families. Being a cultural advocate requires that the nurse be culturally sensitive: respectful of other's beliefs, values, and practices when advocating for patient's rights.
Students in one group will be assigned different scenarios. The assigned scenario for each student will be posted by the second week of the term.
Please read this assignment in its entirety before beginning the activity.
