Using Giger and Davidhizar's Transcultural Assessment Model, perform a comprehensive assessment of how your selected cultural group’s beliefs and practices might impact healthcare decision-making, treatment adherence, your communication, your interventions, and your education to align with the patient's cultural values and preferences.
Utilize your mind map from module 1 and the textbook’s FIG. 1.1 and FIG. 1.2 in Chapter 1 to thoroughly outline your assessment and expand uponeach of the six cultural phenomena for your selected group.
