MULTIPLE CHOICE
| a. | Having university experts with cultural competency expertise review the centre’s policies |
| b. | Having weekly staff meetings for the purpose of determining which methods seem to work best when helping immigrants |
| c. | Including Cuban immigrants from the community on the centre’s advisory board |
| d. | Sending centre staff to conferences and seminars that focus on providing health care to immigrants from Spanish-speaking countries |
ANS: C
Although all of the proposed options are good, in order to determine whether the centre’s practice is serving the needs of the population, the nurse executive will need to consult members of the population being served. This means that evidence would be applied to practice with input from the community. For example, decisions related to the services to be offered in a community health nurse (CHN)-managed clinic would be made with input from the clinic’s advisory board, which should include community leaders and consumers of the clinic’s services. The needs of Cuban immigrants may not be the same as those of immigrants from other Spanish-speaking countries, such as Mexico or Spain.
