Problem
For health practitioners to provide adequate care they ought to be culturally competent, and there are underserved populations. Nursing has changed with emphasis on efforts to meet the heal care needs of a diverse population. Diversity affects patient satisfaction, and culturally competent care provides individualized care by incorporating cultural values and beliefs. This is also associated with patient compliance since there is less risk of conflicting belief systems of the patient and the nurse. The increased diversity of the population presents a challenge to health practitioners when they have to prioritize the health needs of all patients. People diverge in different ways, and there has been growing interest on diversity in healthcare as this affects quality of care, patient safety as well as the risk of medical errors. This paper highlights how diversity impacts patient care based on two scholarly articles.
