Module 4 Assignment
Self-Assessment Paper
The purpose of this paper is to conduct a cultural self-assessment.
1. You will read each of the boxes in Chapter 2 of your textbook (one for each domain of the Purnell Model for Cultural Competence), and answer these questions as they relate to you. (Textbook Purnell, L. (2014). Transcultural health care: A culturally competent approach. (4th ed.). Philadelphia: F.A. Davis Co. ISBN: 9780803637054)
2. Remember to answer these questions from your personal perspective. At all times, explain why you do or do not adhere to the dominant cultural practices and beliefs of the ethnic group(s) with which you primarily identify.
3. If you do not wish to self-disclose a specific area from the Organizing Framework, indicate so instead of just not addressing it; of course, this should not happen very often.
Your paper should be formatted per APA and references should be current (published within the last five years) scholarly journal articles or primary legal sources (statutes, court opinions)
Instructions:
