    Culture competency is important when working in health care because it closes the gap between healthcare practitioners and their patients. It’s important for healthcare practitioners to not only have an understanding of a patients socio-cultural background because of the different beliefs, values, and traditions they will experience but its also important to know the soai-culutral background of their families. If the patient and their family doesn't feel a certain level of understanding and acceptance of their culture they may feel uncombable voicing their healthcare needs. I also think that It can also help a healthcare practitioner to develop a better treatment plan when knowing the patients approach to their customs and healing traditions.…

Not every nurse has this ability or patience to be culturally competent, or even if they have the cultural competence, there is no guarantee that they are willing to advocate for their clients under extreme circumstances. The Process of Cultural Competence in the Delivery of Healthcare Services has illustrated the five basic requirements for nurses to determine their knowledge and understanding for cultural competence --- skill, knowledge, desire, awareness, and encounters (Kersey-Matusiak, 2012). Nurses must be aware of the consequences of stereotyping and cultural egocentrism. This topic eventually transitions to another topic: Equality deserved in healthcare settings.…

    Children are active, curious beings and as they develop and grow they find ways to become more active through recreational activities and sports. Through the years, the intensity and aggression within sports have increased, leading to more recreational and sports related injuries. During the last ten years, emergency department visits for concussions and mild traumatic brain injuries in children and adolescents have increased (Graham et al., 2013). This increase has led to approximately 144,000 or more visits, made by children and adolescents, to the emergency department annually (Meehan & Mannix, 2010). In addition, post-concussion recovery is poorly understood and children and adolescents may be more vulnerable to concussion effects and…
