2. Consider the statement that Ros (palliative care nurse specialist) made, “Chatty said, ‘Thank you for making me feel safe’. I think for Chatty it was that he trusted me with cultural care as well. I didn’t pretend to know what I should or shouldn’t do, but I listened to him and he taught me what to do.” Discuss Cultural Competence and provide examples of how the healthcare staff involved with Chatty demonstrated this.
