    1. The ANA Code of Ethics states that nurses “are expected to be aware of their own cultural identifications in order to control their personal biases that may interfere with the therapeutic relationship. Self-awareness involves not only examining one’s culture but also examining perceptions and assumptions about the patient’s culture.” Additionally, nurses “should possess knowledge and understanding how oppression, racism, discrimination, and stereotyping affect them personally and in their work.”[4]

    2. Culturally competen

      **define please NIH does a nice job cultural competency refers to the ability of healthcare providers to recognize and respect patients with diverse values, beliefs, behaviors and linguistic needs. The National Institutes of Health (NIH) describes it as “the combination of a body of knowledge, a body of belief and a body of behavior” because it requires healthcare professionals to understand cultural differences and respond accordingly. The intersection of knowledge, beliefs, and behavior is where patient care can be affected.

      The American Hospital Association says that “a culturally competent healthcare system is one that acknowledges the value of culture, incorporates the assessment of cross-cultural relations, recognizes the potential impact of cultural differences, expands cultural knowledge, and adapts services to meet culturally unique needs.” It may sound like a tall order, but each of these action items is achievable. More importantly, they are necessary for healthcare systems to meet the demand of a diverse population.

      This is too broad. Please consider adding that ethical principles are applied contextually and holds a nurses responsibility to all stakeholders in each case, including themselves in accordance with the law and the societal expectations that stem from the role of the nurse- something to that effect. Maybe consider adding "An ethical principle is a general guide, basic truth, or assumption that can be used with judgment to help determine a course of action.12 Principles have long been used in bioethics and clinical ethics to describe the most common ethical concerns one must consider in most cases. Although all of the principles are important, they can conflict with each other in certain situations. The four principles most often cited are respect for persons, nonmaleficence, beneficence, and justice.12 Less often mentioned, but equally important, is the principle of fidelity."
