Question

Explain why Cultural variations of health practices can sometimes be misidentified as child abuse. For example, traditional medical practices, such as coining or cupping, may leave marks on the skin that could be mistaken for physical abuse. It is important for nurses to be aware of culturally specific health practices and to understand that not all marks or injuries on a child are indicative of abuse. Sensitivity to cultural differences is crucial in accurately assessing and reporting suspected abuse.
