Cultural Safety Action Plan for Nursing Care Professionals

Assessment two -Cultural Safety Action Plan
Part 1- Your Cultural safety action plan
Goal: As a nursing care professional, I would exhibit competence in
communicating effectively while caring for culturally diverse patients. As a
culturally competent nurse, I would treat my patients with dignity and respect
and ensure that the care plan devised by me is specifically aligned to the care
needs and cultural preferences of the patient. Also, as a culturally competent
nursing professional I would ensure that the rights of the patients are secured
and are not compromised on account of cultural discrimination based and on
sensing any kind of discrimination, I would make use of appropriate measures
to advocate the rights of the patient and ensure that the cultural safety of the
patient is not compromised (Cherry & Jacob, 2016).
