Question Reflection assignment Canada is a very culturally and ethnically diverse country. Additionally, we have embraced gender diversity and legitimized equal marriage in our laws. As individuals, we hold values and beliefs that may stay the same or change and develop over time. When we consider diversity the starting point is to develop our own self-awareness.As nurses we are encouraged to reflect continually on our own beliefs and values as well as those of our patients’ to determine if or how they impact the care you provide. Such reflection assists in providing patient-centred, culturally sensitive care.For the Reflection paper, begin by addressing the following reflective questions:Part AHow would you describe your culture? Was your upbringing in a diverse community or a homogenous one? How would you rank the following in order of importance: ethnicity, family, work, the future, diet, and religion? Consider possible areas where cultural variations in beliefs and values frequently occur. In your role as a nurse, would the choices you make be different for yourself or someone you care about?Do you believe your patients have the same priorities? How do these values impact your relationships with patients? (Do you have gaps in your knowledge about individuals from other cultures, religions or gender expressions? List as many as you can think of then choose a priority gap that you will begin to fill. PART BUsing the CNO guidelines for self-reflection and establishment of a learning plan:1. Describe a significant experience or gap in your diversity awareness2. Identify strengths and areas for improvement 3. Peer Input (if appropriate)4. Identify learning needs ( at least 2)5.
