Cultural competence.
Cultural competence requires a caring and respectful nurse-patient relationship. It assures care that accommodates the beliefs, values, and practices of the patient. Also, by including family and cultural attributes, nurses can help these patients attain the desired outcomes to achieve the common goal of regaining and maintaining health (Burchum, 2002).
