No that's too vague. I'm thinking more like, say, providing care to an aboriginal person. This would mean I'd have to consider their worldview and know which factors are the most important...which would further relate to their care practices. So like, I couldn't just tell an aboriginal woman to "take these meds" or "you HAVE to have x treatment or you'll die", because in their culture they use natural medicine, and they value life and death differently.
Or back to the JW example...it's a conflict because religion is the most important factor in their world view. So I would somehow have to incorporate that need into the care I provide for them.
edit: The foreskin one is actually good, lol.

ask chimera if there is anything about kenyan culture and religion that might apply.

While it isn't my culture, I know there is problems in India with patients refusing treatment because the doctor/nurse isn't from their clan or sacredly ordained.

Tell them that their culture sucks and that their kids or grand kids will have abandoned the sacred traditions and be preferring your godless style of medicine within fifty years anyway.

i'm not sure what people on the boards here view of psychological/psychiatric help, but in asian cultures, the idea of going to see someone for such problems is considered taboo. there's no such thing as a mental problem (or the thought process is something similar) in east asia, and that any mental issues can and should be solved by the individual without any help. i guess the best way to show this is depression. depression is seen as a mental illness here, but it doesn't "exist" in asia. people would just say, snap out of it, pick yourself up kinda thing, and would not suggest going to see a professional for help.

I actually just Googled "cultural nursing case scenarios" and got a sweet page that covers a few different cultures. I actually remember one of these examples being used last year in one of my classes...wewt!
for example they say that Asians "generally consider it impolite to accept something the first time it is offered." in korean culture, it's the opposite- it's rude to not accept something offered to you. for example, say you don't drink but someone offers you an alcoholic beverage- you pretty much gotta take it anyways and pretend to drink it. weird, i know.

i wouldn't call it weird but more like selfish lol what's the point of offering a fucking drink to someone if you're just going to force them to drink what YOU want them to drink/what's convenient for you?
no offense, just sayin...

I know in Japan it is very rude to accept something the first time (supposedly it makes it seem like you were expecting them to ask or offer). Usually you have to refuse twice then accept on the third time asked.
