Practical, real-world coverage shows how an understanding of cultural variations and individual patient needs will help you promote safe and effective care.

- Twenty-four chapters on specific cultural groups apply this assessment model to the clients most commonly encountered in United States healthcare settings.
- Case studies and critical decision-making questions in each chapter help you apply the assessment framework in practice.
- Client care plans in culture-specific chapters demonstrate how to apply principles to specific client needs.
- Coverage includes information on biological differences among individuals of different racial groups; differences in drug interaction and metabolism specific to various ethnic groups; and clustering of certain pathologies in specific racial groups.
