Discussion

Nurses complete assessments on individuals on a daily basis. Self-assessments are in order before considering our abilities to provide culturally competent nursing care.

• Complete Transcultural Nursing Skills Self-Assessment Form (Links to an external site.)
• Note the number of No answers in your self-assessment. Share one or two of your No answers with your classmates, and describe how you will convert the No to a Yes over the next few weeks.
• What interventions are needed to turn each No into a Yes response?
