Sommario/riassunto

Preparing nurses and other health professionals to provide quality health care amid the increasingly multicultural and global society of the 21st century requires a new, comprehensive approach that emphasizes cultural competence education throughout professional education and professional practice. Written in response to this need, Teaching Cultural Competence in Nursing and Health Care is intended as a primary resource for educators and graduate students in academic settings, health care institutions, and professional associations.
