To promote an effective nurse-patient relationship and positive outcomes of care, nursing care must be
r/d r/d r/d r/d r/d r/d r/d r/d r/d r/d r/d r/d r/d r/d




culturally competent, appropriate, and sensitive to cultural differences. Team-focused nursing and strict

adherence to routine are not characteristics needed to be an effective nurse. The ability to handle criticism
r/d r/d r/d r/d r/d r/d r/d r/d r/d r/d r/d r/d r/d r/d r/d r/d r/d




is important, but to a lesser degree than culturalcompetence.
