2. Share your own cultural background and how culture influences healthcare practices in your own families. How would you use this personal perspective as a nurse leader?
3. Why is it necessary to understand values, beliefs, and rituals held by culturally diverse staff and patients? What implications would “cultural sensitivity” have for you as a nurse leader or manager? What specific tools could you use to incorporate cultural diversity into your practice setting?
