Culture also appears to cause physiological changes in the population. This becomes more evident as we look at the impact of genetics on health. As professional nurses, we must be aware of the impact of culture on an individual and individualize the plan of care to integrate cultural preferences if we are to promote positive health care outcomes.

Upon successful completion of this discussion, you will be able to:

Discuss the integration of cultural considerations and their implications on a client’s health.

Discuss the impact of cultural beliefs on nursing interventions.
