ASSIGNMENT QUESTIONS
An important consideration when working with patients is
their cultural background. Understanding an individual's
culture and personal experiences provides insight into who
the person is and where he or she may progress in the future.
Culture helps to establish a sense of identity, as well as to set
values, behaviors, and purpose for individuals within a
society. Culture may also contribute to a divide between
specific interpretations of cultural behavior and societal
norms. What one culture may deem as appropriate another
culture may find inappropriate. As a result, it is important for
advanced practice nurses to remain aware of cultural
considerations and interpretations of behavior for diagnosis,
especially with reference to substance-related disorders. At
the same time, PMHNPs must balance their professional and
legal responsibilities for assessment and diagnosis with such
cultural considerations and interpretations.
For this Assignment, you will practice assessing and
diagnosing a patient in a case study who is experiencing a
substance-related or addictive disorder. With this and all
cases, remember to consider the patient’s cultural
background.
