From the beginning of my nursing career working as Certified Nursing Assistance in the long-term facility, I recognized the way I give care for senior population is a direct relationship from my African cultural value. In Africa older people claim a right to the respect of others based on their seniority, they lived longer than others. They deserve respect because they have acquired wisdom and experience over the years. This value guided my nursing care to be compassionate and caring especially senior population with respect. Senior population required specialized attention to prevent them from any harm such as falls, medication, and other injuries attributed to their age. These values directed my approach to practice positively and with cautious. This reasoning which affects patient safety and effective care. The notion is supported by Schooley et al. (2020) state of positive environments affects patient wellbeing and patient adherence to their care. Moreover, bedside practices that motivate patients affect recovery time. Such approaches to bedside nursing should be emphasized to create a positive environment affecting recovery periods and patient education, as previously mentioned. From a holistic perspective, it may also affect patient readmission.
