The nurse manager of an ambulatory care clinic has noted an increased number of visits by patients from different countries and cultures, including patients from Mexico and other Latin American countries. Concerned about meeting the needs of this culturally diverse population, the nurse manager convenes a staff meeting to discuss this change in patient demographics, and to query the staff about any learning needs they have related to the care of these patients.

Question 1: What strategy to avoid stereotyping clients from other cultures should the nurse include in this meeting?

Question 2: Identify culturally sensitive issues to be discussed in the staff meeting.

Question 3: One technician on the staff complains that some patients never make eye contact, and this makes it difficult for him to complete his work. How should the nurse respond?
