II. Cultural competence practice (Standard two):
Mostly nursing in the professional field used cross-cultural knowledge and different sensitive skills that used for the implementation of the compatible nursing care of the patients in hospitals.
A complex knowledge of the diverse cultural practice, skills in cross-cultural assessments and communication behavior and reflective self-awareness included in cross-culture practice. The nurse begins the cross-cultural practice through the assessment of the cultural, physiological and physical centers that worked as the basic planning of the client care.
The process of competence in the cross-cultural practice is the process that achieves the interest and requiring the experience in learning and increasing the communication skills and is sharpening the cultural practice assessment. Even though nurses cannot be competent in all the diverse fields of cultural practice, they have a certain field of competence. Sometimes nurses achieved the competence degree for the cultural care of the patients when used the different skills dynamically for cultural assessment of clients. The level of the nurse knowledge of the client’s culture health and the practice can be influenced in the implementation of this standard.
