Synopses & Reviews
The second edition of Purnell's Guide to Culturally Competent Health Care will once again be the leader in quick-reference content on cultural competency, following the success of the first edition. Cultural Competency is still a hot topic in not only nursing programs as evidenced by the NCLEX test plan, but is also important in Health Professions programs. This guide will boost the confidence of students who feel uncomfortable dealing with those from a cultural background different than their own. It provides a summary of issues to be aware of, including cultural variations regarding personal space, dietary preferences, activities of daily living, communication, symptom management, activities of daily living, and religious and health practices.
