Assignment Cultural Reality Select and review three picture books that you believe present cultural reality and authenticity or use the selected books below. Summarize why you selected each picture book and what elements or features in the book captured cultural reality. Ask yourself the following while analyzing your book: Does the book respect the dignity of those depicted?Does the book accurately portray diversity?Are dialects presented realistic, consistent, and appropriate?Is the book biased and out-of-date?What attitudes are encouraged?Are photographs and illustrations stereotyped?Are diverse individuals shown in a variety of roles, including positions of authority?Can you think of additional questions that should be considered? List them. Characteristics of Authentic Literature The literature should include the range of character types or people found within the culture, although not necessarily in one book. The characters should not be idealized, but neither should stereotypes predominate. There should be doctors, teachers, truck drivers, cooks, and individuals in other occupations.The illustrations should not consist of caricatures of a group’s physical features. Rather, the illustrations should reflect the variety found among members of any group.The speech adopted by characters should have linguistic authenticity. Many members of a group speak standard English and can use and understand various dialects within the group as well. Vernacular language and casual, informal dialects are appropriate to some characters some of the time, but not all characters all of the time.The names of the characters should reflect the cultural traditions of a group.Food should not be used as a shorthand signifier of a group; for example, rice is not a code word for Asian or Asian-American.The beliefs and values of characters as well as their world views should reflect the diversity found in the groups’ community. Some will be conservative, others liberal, and a few radical.Writers should understand the pivotal roles families play in these groups and the family configurations that exist within the groups.Authors should portray members of the groups as intelligent problem-solvers who are not dependent on the intervention of a kindly white for redemption, salvation, or mediation.

Submit an evidence-based practice paper about cultural competency in mental health nursing. An evidence-based practice paper allows you to explore best practice and help improve client outcomes on a psychiatric unit. Your paper should describe how you, as a nurse, will include - or have included - cultural awareness in a client diagnosed with a mental illness. The person you describe could be someone in your clinical setting, someone you have worked with in the past, or a theoretical client.Remember that culture can also include gender equality, sexual orientation, and other cultures besides race and religion - including cultures unique to one particular family. Your paper should be at least 3 pages (double-spaced, not including the title or reference pages) in APA Format and include:Assessment: Discuss what you would assess in regard to a client's culture. For example, are there specific dietary requirements? Are schedule changes necessary to avoid conflicts with religious practices? Who is the spokesperson for the family? What would you assess?Diagnosis: List any mental health nursing diagnoses this person has or may be at risk for. Include at least one cultural diagnosis.Planning: What planning needs to be done to ensure the cultural and emotional safety of the client?Implementation: What are interventions that would ensure the safety of your client in regard to culture? Include at least two interventions. For example, if your client has religious beliefs that affect the ability to take medications, what interventions would you create to ensure the client's safety? What can you do to make sure the client's cultural needs are met?Evaluation: How will you evaluate whether your implementation was effective? Make sure the parameters are objective and measurable.In your summary, discuss whether any completed interventions were successful. What could be done differently in the future? If the interventions have not yet been carried out, you might discuss some institutional changes that could be made to ensure cultural safety for all clients in that setting.Your paper should utilize proper APA guidelines and include at least three scholarly sources to support your paper. A scholarly source is a source that has been peer reviewed and has appropriate authors that are credentialed.
