Module 03
Written Assignment – Cultural Considerations in Mental Health Nursing
Submit an evidence-based practice paper about cultural
competency in mental health nursing. An evidence-based practice paper allows
you to explore best practice and help improve client outcomes on a psychiatric
unit. Your paper should describe how you, as a nurse, will include – or have
included – cultural awareness in a client diagnosed with a mental illness. The
person you describe could be someone in your clinical setting, someone you have
worked with in the past, or a theoretical client.
Remember that culture can also include gender equality,
sexual orientation, and other cultures besides race and religion – including
cultures unique to one particular family. Your paper should be at least 3 pages
(double-spaced, not including the title or reference pages) in APA Format and
include:
Assessment: Discuss what you would assess in regard to a
client’s culture. For example, are there specific dietary requirements? Are
schedule changes necessary to avoid conflicts with religious practices? Who is
the spokesperson for the family? What would you assess?
Diagnosis: List any mental health nursing diagnoses this
person has or may be at risk for. Include at least one cultural diagnosis.
Planning: What planning needs to be done to ensure the
cultural and emotional safety of the client?
Implementation: What are interventions that would ensure the
safety of your client in regard to culture? Include at least two interventions.
For example, if your client has religious beliefs that affect the ability to
take medications, what interventions would you create to ensure the client’s
safety? What can you do to make sure the client’s cultural needs are met?
Evaluation: How will you evaluate whether your
implementation was effective? Make sure the parameters are objective and
measurable.
In your summary, discuss whether any completed interventions
were successful. What could be done differently in the future? If the
interventions have not yet been carried out, you might discuss some
institutional changes that could be made to ensure cultural safety for all
clients in that setting.
Your paper should utilize proper APA guidelines and include
at least three scholarly sources to support your paper. A scholarly source is a
source that has been peer reviewed and has appropriate authors that are
credentialed. For more information on APA, please visit the Online Library.
