Overview
Objective: Use culture-specific knowledge, skills, and behavior to elicit data, develop nursing diagnosis, and plan nursing care.
1. Assess the client using Giger and Davidhizars Transcultural Assessment Model (Giger and Davidhizar, pp. 9-11).
2. Using the tool, interview a client from a culture different from your own (i.e. someone from an ethnic minority group).
3. This paper must be written in a narrative format. Review the content requirements below. Type in Word and submit a copy of the paper to instructor by the deadline. There will be no pre-grading of the case study. Also review the Case Study Grading Tool on page 17 and 18 before submitting the paper.
a. Part 1 Assessment (42 points)
Describe the client based on the six cultural phenomena. Note:
About half of your paper should be focused on this area.
b. Part 2 Care Plan (27 points)
Based on your assessment, identify actual or potential nursing
diagnoses, expected client outcomes and therapeutic interventions. Use Giger and Davidhizar Part 2 (Application of Assessment & Intervention Techniques to Specific Cultural Groups) for reference. Every chapter in Part 2 has a case study with sample diagnoses, outcomes, and interventions. Choose only the sample interventions that reflect culturally congruent care. Also review the Power Point on Transcultural Nursing Process Part 2.
i. Nursing Diagnosis (9 points) Use NANDA labels. Use a three-part statement for actual diagnosis and a two-part statement for potential diagnosis. Identify a minimum of three actual or risk diagnoses that have cultural implications.
ii. ClientOutcomes(3points)Identifyatleastoneexpectedclient outcome for each diagnosis. Outcomes must have time frames and they need to be relevant and measurable.
iii. Nursinginterventions(15points)Writeatleastfivespecific interventions for each of the three nursing diagnoses. These interventions must reflect consideration of the clients cultural background.
c. Part 3 Personal Reflection (16 points)
Reflect on how the knowledge from this assignment will influence
your future nursing care of clients from different cultures. Consider similarities and differences between clients responses with what could have been your own responses. Consider the ways in which your responses might influence your interaction with the client. This section should be a minimum of one page.
d. Organization/Style (15 points)
Type the case study following the APA format. Use at least five (5)
references from a peer-reviewed nursing journal or a publication of a professional organization, or current (< 5 years old) nursing textbook. The paper should follow proper spelling, grammar, syntax, and use of punctuation. Use of medical abbreviations should be standard. The paper should be between 10-12 pages (including the cover page and reference page).
e. Ten points will be deducted for each day that the paper is submitted late. Ten points will also be deducted if the paper is submitted after the due date.
