Cultural Competency in Nursing Practice Discussion “Cultural competency means being aware of differences related to culture and adjusting plans of care accordingly as well as remaining sensitive and respectful of choices patients may make based on their culture. Campinha Bacote’s cultural competence model is a nursing theory that aids nurses in this process.”The nurse has for duty to elaborate an assessment for the patient that allows the nurse to examine the patient in point of view, ethnic , socioeconomic background race or culture. That allows the nurse to provide appropriate and better care to the patient without discrimination.

In nursing practice, cultural competent plays an important in the plan of care. In the service of practice, the nurse must introduce the family in the care plan; this is one of the ways to eliminate some taboo in people. Each country has particular customs. The presence of family members is very important during an examination. That will allow the nurse to help the patient to adopt a safe plan of care in relation to the patient state for health. “The nurse acknowledges and respects cultural differences and formulates a plan of care that is specific to the patient’s individualized cultural needs (de Oliveira Carvalho, Santiago da Rocha, & de Souza Rocha, 2015). “
