This 2- 3 page APA formatted paper assignment consists of your philosophy of cultural diversity and why it is is important for a nurse to be able to provide culturally competent care for clients from a wide variety of backgrounds. In order to do this, paper should include all of the following areas:

• A description of resources on the web for complementary and alternative healing options in healthcare
• A clear comparison of the elements of an evidence-based treatment and a nonevidenced-based treatment
• The spiritual, cultural, or familial origins of the health beliefs
• The potential health implications of the health beliefs and culture, specifically any that may potentially cause harm
• How to integrate the health beliefs into nursing care 
• The long-term benefits of exploring and assessing health beliefs

 Support your philosophy with at least 2 nursing peer reviewed journal articles no older than 5 years. I will be viewing the articles as well so stay within the guidelines of no older than 5 years.
