If you are talking about nursing someone who comes from a culture which is not yours, but is receiving care in your country then there really are a lot of considerations involved. What is normal behavior in one country is abnormal in another. So, then, what does your goal in nursing become? To understand that what appears odd to you may not be odd at all in the context of the patient or his home country, or to try to change his thinking and/or modify his behavior to fit what is considered normal in your country?
I have known a foreign student who was diagnosed autistic because he was acting in ways which were normal for his own country, but not for his host country. And it created enormous problems for that child. I know other foreign students who simply have a difficult time adjusting because the teachers do not have the training, resources, time, or desire to try to bridge the gaps for these kids.
But if you're dealing with adult institutional situations you've got your work cut out for you. Good luck.
