Ambulatory Care Nursing: Communication and Culture

Course overview

Clinical knowledge is essential for healthcare professionals, but it is not enough. Effective communication skills and cultural responsibility are vital to functioning within the ambulatory care setting. This module will discuss communication styles and concepts, the therapeutic nursing-patient relationship, and how you can develop your cultural competence. The goal of this module is to assist nurses with successfully passing the Ambulatory Care Nursing Certification (AMB-BC) Examination. This module includes generalizations about cultural differences. A generalization is a statement about common trends or patterns of behavior within a group. Further information is needed to determine the needs of each particular person.
