COMIC STRIP CARE OF ADULT

Hello! How are you, ma’am? Did you take a rest?

Yes, I did but I still feel dizzy.

In this scene, the nurse interacts with the patient and patient’s family member.

After taking the medicine, they talk about the care plan of the patient.

Okay, so your doctor prescribed you with this medication to make you feel better and to lower your blood pressure. Please take it.

Thank you, nurse Ana! By the way, this is my husband. He’ll be staying with me.

(To patient's husband)

I understand that you would like to be present during the medical procedures, is that right?

Yes, that's correct. In our culture, it's important for family members to be present during these times.

We have no problem with that. We want to make sure that the patient feels comfortable and supported during their stay. We will make sure to include that in the care plan.

Thank you! We appreciate it.

Transcultural nursing is vital to healthcare delivery in today's multicultural world. Healthcare providers should be aware of the importance of familial involvement when it comes to the care of adults - in Filipino culture. By incorporating it into the care plan, healthcare providers can build trust with their patients and provide more effective care. Ultimately, transcultural nursing is not only about providing culturally sensitive care but also about promoting respect, understanding, and equality among people from diverse backgrounds.
