questions for nurses,physician and pharmacist regarding ethnopharmacology just read the details.?

Question

There is a current interest in ethnopharmacology by nurses, physicians, pharmacist and other healthcare providers how does knowledge on ethnopharmacology and cultural differences in response to medications, facilitate your ability to provide culturaly competent and congruent nursing care?

Answer 1

Every individual respond to medications differently, so much more with cultural differences on how they respond to certain medicines. Knowing the cultural differences would then be a great help of planning care that is suited best to a certain ethnicity. The effectiveness of care will be more enhanced as the pre-existing understanding of ethnopharmacology with consideration of how it is affected by cultural factors could lead you to focus on planning a care that will be at their best interest without being hindered. An effective care plan will be devised without possible cultural contradiction. If there is a cultural "hole" to be patched, you will then have an idea beforehand how to cover up such "hole".
