You are admitting a 19-year old female college student to the hospital for fevers.

Culture is defined as the way of life of a people. It is also seen as the customs, arts, social institutions, and achievements of a particular nation, people, or other social group. It is important for nurses to consider the cultural beliefs of their patients while rendering care. The cultural needs of patients should be determined immediately the walk through the door. The nurse should be very observant to check if the patient makes eye contact and communicate well during the interview. It is essential we build a trusting relationship with the patient throughout their hospital stay. The nurse should exercise cultural competency which involves the respect of all beliefs, values, and decision-making power of the patient within a different group cultural group than the nurse.
The Arab American culture
The Arab American has a unique culture, and the nurse should remember that when first treating a patient, they should refrain from any excess eye and physical contact (Attum, Haffiz, Malik, 2020). Maintaining privacy is essential and modesty is important. The family should be included in the treatment planning. This female needs to be seen by female health care providers. It is required in this culture that the patient be assessed by medical professional that are of the same gender as the patient (Falkner, 2018). Respecting the cultural diet is paramount. It is the nurses` responsibility to make the patient feel safe and respected (Falkner, 2018).
Health care support system
The language telephone line should be used for patient during the interview if she feels more comfortable using her preferred language. The language line at the facility where I work has just has video option that the nurse can utilize if the patient gives the consent. Spiritual care should be provided. This because prayer and religion are valued among the Arab Americans (Attum, Haffiz, Malik, 2020). The support system is Arab American Family Services which offer support in the areas of public benefits, immigration, domestic violence, mental health, elderly services, and they sponsor outreach programs to build healthier families and communities (AAFS, 2020)
