1. Compare and contrast the terms cultural competence (CC) and cultural sensitivity (CS) and
provide a brief case example of each-showing a nurse who is culturally sensitive and one who is
culturally competent.
2. If you were to start a program to provide primary, short-term health care to the homeless, how
would you design it from a social justice (SJ) framework? Think about location, funding, human
resources and more.
3. Mr. Brown is a 79-year-old African American male who has hypertension and has a history of
mild strokes. He lives in rural Alabama with his daughter and son-in-law. He was a farmer who
never graduated from grade school, but he managed to support a family of five with his labors.
At present, he cannot work due to a tractor accident five months ago and receives a small
disability check. Explain how he is a member of a vulnerable population and name the groups
which would be considered vulnerable. Discuss three issues related to Mr. Brown’s cultural
background that might affect his recovery from his injury. You must include at least three peer
reviewed, evidence-based articles with in-text citations to support your answer.
4. Write a one-page letter to your current state representative explaining how the challenges that
Mr. Brown is facing may be addressed from a legislative standpoint. For example, the difficulty
that farmers experience and/or people with disabilities. This letter must be professionally written
which includes a salutation, proper address, and evidence supporting your stance.
