NRS 110 (Nursing 110)

Nursing 110 Culture Paper

The following parts were from the Nursing 110 Culture Paper assignment in 2024.  Please follow your Current Nursing 110 culture research paper assignment guidelines when you start working on it. I heard that your culture paper this semester is focusing on the South Sudan Culture.

Part IV - Research

  1. Choose one ethnic group identified as part of this person’s background. Research the health beliefs, values and practices predominant for this ethnic group. (Research refers to the review of the professional literature)
  2. Documented discussion
    Citing references from the professional literature, discuss each of the following:
    a) role and status of elderly within the family
    b) views and practices to prevent illness, promote wellness, maintain health and care for self and others, including complementary and alternative therapies (CAT) as mentioned in TLL Chapter 27.
    c) communication patterns appropriate to family members based on age and gender (verbal and non-verbal).

Part V - Comparative Analysis (See your copy of the Nursing 110 - Research Paper for details)

You are asked to do a comparative analysis of the interviewed person's culture with Nigerian culture. According to the assignment, you should go to Course Point Lippincott Advisor and click on the Cultural Perspectives Tab for reference. If you need more info for comparison, you can always search the databases I listed on this guide.  

Note: Part IV and Part V above are from your Nursing 110 research paper and posted here to help you better understand what you have to do. You need a minimum of 5 references in your Reference list. Please follow your current copy of Nursing 110 research paper to ensure assignment accuracy.  

Tip: Before you start to search a database, take a piece of paper and make a list of the keywords and terms related to your study group and the issues you are asked to discuss. These are the keywords and terms you are going to try when you start searching. Do not jam the search box with too many terms at one time. Try Hispanics and culture for example in CINHAL database, then refine your search using the limiters on your search results page.
