Borrowed Theory
Nurses have to take care of patients and ensure that they recover without challenges. The
nursing profession ensures that regardless of the conditions that people face, they still have an
opportunity to get better and work towards their destiny. Nurses play an important role in the
healthcare facilities since they apply their knowledge and skills to deliver quality services to the
patients. Despite their essential roles, nurses also face challenges which make it hard for them to
meet the set goals and objectives of the hospitals. Some working environment does not present
the practitioners with the facilities that would make them deliver quality (McDonald, 2006).
When nurses go through the challenges, they become stressed and may not work towards the set
goals and objectives. A common problem which nurses encounter is the cultural competence
problem where they have to handle people from different parts of the nation and the regions
where they work. The issue makes it hard for the nurses to perform their duties and
responsibilities and deliver quality in the hospitals. The paper focuses on the utilization of the
borrowed theory in solving the impacts of the issue of cultural competence in nursing.

Cultural competence results in challenges to the nurses as they aim to deliver the best
services to the patients. Nurses have to work in different hospitals where they meet patients and
workmates with different cultures from theirs. At times, handling the diversity might become
challenging since the nurses have a different type of life. When nurses join new places where
they do not understand the cultural values and beliefs of the patients and the workmates, they
will not manage to utilize their skills and abilities in making the patients recover easily (Cantu, &
Warren, 2003). They will become demotivated and stressed so that they may, in the long run,
