Community-Based Settings #2
Concepts such as partnership, collaboration, empowerment, and facilitation now form the basis for community-based nursing practice with individuals, families, and aggregates in the community.
An aggregate is a collection of people who can be thought of as a whole simply because they happen to be in the same place at the same time.

Community-Based Settings #3
Community-based collaborative action research (CBCAR) is an approach for nurses to partner with communities to address health issues.
Care that is not congruent with the client’s value system is likely to increase the cost of care because it compromises quality and inhibits access to services.

Overview of Culturally Competent Nursing Care in Community Settings
The use of cultural knowledge in community-based nursing practice begins with a careful assessment of clients and families in their own environments.
Cultural data are discussed with the client and family to develop mutually shared goals.
Nurses must take into account the diverse cultural factors that will motivate clients to make successful changes in lifestyle and behavioral modifications.

Question #2
Is the following statement true or false?
Assimilation and acculturation can be defined as the process by which individuals shed their traditional culture and lifestyle and embrace and adapt to their new culture—something all successful immigrants and refugees experience.
Copyright © 2016 Wolters Kluwer • All Rights Reserved
14
Answer to Question #2
False
Rationale: The terms assimilation and acculturation refer to ways in which immigrants and refugees adapt and change over time. These terms may imply giving up one’s traditional culture for the dominant culture. Integration, incorporating some aspects of the new culture while maintaining cultural traditions and values, may better describe a successful immigrant or refugee experience.
