Abstract
It is important to learn about different cultures. If we don’t try to place ourselves in the shoes
of someone of a different culture, we are not entering that relationship from a place of
respect. As a healthcare professional, we are taught to put our patients first, but what does
that really mean? Codes of ethics, such as those from the American Nurses Association,
reinforce that we are responsible for caring for all of our patients, no matter who they are or
where they come from. Patients should be treated with compassion and respect, taking into
account their inherent dignity, worth, and unique attributes as a person.
