Student understanding of culturally and ethically responsive care: implications for nursing curricula.
Nursing education programs have a responsibility to develop strategies that improve future nurses' multicultural competence and ethical approaches to caring for populations different than their own. This article describes results of a final exam evaluative process used in an undergraduate class focused on culture and ethics. Ideas for nurse educators who desire increased student responsiveness and accountability for meeting the cultural and ethical needs of clients are offered.
