Section one: How do you ensure you are committed to a journey of cultural safety?

Annie arrives on the ward; you greet Anniewhile taking her to her bed. How do you ensure you are committed to a journey of cultural safety?

1. Provide an evidenced-based strategy that enables you to continue your cultural safety journey.
2. How do you welcome Annie into the ward?
3. Annie reveals her current situation with you, as outlined in the case study. What reactions would you take following this conversation? You are advised to investigate an Aboriginal Community Controlled Health Service that would be able to support Anniewhile she is staying in Melbourne.

Section two: Addressing culturally unsafe practice.

1. In NURBN2025, you were introduced to racism, its causes, and its impact on health outcomes. Identify from peer-reviewed literature the possible reasons why non-Indigenous people make racist assumptions about First Nations peoples. Include the following:
   1. The potential beliefs, values, and attitudes that have influenced these non-Indigenous nurses to be culturally unsafe.
   2. Describe how the nurses have used power differentials related to their beliefs, for nursing care.
2. How would you advocate for Annie in this handover?

Section three:  Promoting Cultural safety

You make an appointment to meet with your nurse unit manager (NUM) to address this culturally unsafe practice. What team-based solutions could you present your NUM. Think of these terms of:

1. How could cultural safety be promoted within this ward?
   1. What antiracist group learning strategies could be implemented?
   2. How could power differentials be minimized?

Case Study 

Annie is a 59 year old Aboriginal women from the Atherton table lands near Cairns, in north Queensland. Annie is passionate about being an Aboriginal community member, enjoying yarning with her community and attending local community events. Annie has one daughter Sharelle, 32 years old and one son Tony, 30 years old. Sharelle has 3 children, Sarah 12 years old, Kelly 9 years old and Alex who is 3 years old. Sharelle lives close to Annie in the Atherton Table lands.   Annie has lived independently for many years and was employed as a Murri Primary School Teacher which she loved. Annie retired 3 years ago to support her daughter with caring for her children. Annie had separated from the father of Sharelle and Tony many years ago. Annie is visiting her son Tony and daughter-in-law Kate in Melbourne (within the Monash health catchment area). They have a baby, Lily who is 9 months old. Kate is returning to work so Annie has come to Melbourne for an extended stay to help care for baby. Annie enjoys caring for and getting to know Lily. Lily is relatively easy to look after, sleeping through the night. Annie takes over the care of Lily once Tony and Kate go to work. Annie loves signing songs to Lily. She also takes on the usual care like feeding and changing nappies. Lily will sleep about 3 hours in the middle of the day, so this gives Annie time to rest or tidy the house. Annie will take Lily for a walk if it is warm enough once she wakes up. Tony and Kate will take over the home tasks when they arrive home from work. Annie is a bit lonely as she does not really know anyone. Annie is missing the mob in the Aboriginal Planned Activity Group where she is involved in yarning, gardening and walking activities. Annie's favourite was art as she was creating a piece for a local exhibition. Annie does not like hospitals; she has a fear of hospitals because her community have had bad experiences.
