Week 7

Discussion

As nurses, we work with providers and healthcare team members whose native language is not English. In fact, some of you may have interviewed a non-native English speaker for your Course Project. This diversity may lead to challenges with communication and the nurse being "caught in the middle."

· Reflect on your newfound knowledge of transcultural nursing.

· Share an example of miscommunication that occurred as a result of this diversity and whether an adverse outcome resulted.

· Describe how the miscommunication could have been and will be prevented in the future.
