Cultural Safety in Healthcare 3
Dependability is a valuable asset as it will enhance one's delivery at the workplace (Liaw
et al., 2015). As a dependable practitioner, many clients would choose my attention knowing that
I will deliver. However, authorities may take advantage of my reliability and inadvertently end
up assigning me more duties than I can handle. We all have the limits which we can handle but if
the responsibilities are too many, it may be overwhelming and deter my effectiveness (Bulmer

condition may fear to approach me for discussion about their health. Thank God, I value
compassion in practice, through which if I can effectively use to erase such thoughts in a client.
Professional nursing becomes culturally safe when a patient sees the compassion and

individuals. To avoid this situation, I will try to be loyal to my schedules and control my feelings
as much as possible.
Empathy creates a rapport with patients and they won't hesitate to come again in case of
medical assistance. In a culturally diverse environment, one may tend to pay more attention to
one client than another which may unintentionally create a feeling of segregation among some
