Your paper should be based on the following three sources; you may also do additional research:
Case Study: Sara (See Discussion Forum 9)
The article by Bucknor-Ferron and Zagaja on unconscious bias
The paper by Albougami, Pounds, and Alotaibi
Introduction. Summarize Sara’s specific healthcare needs based on your cultural assessment.
Reflection
Identify your general feelings and attitudes (positive and negative) about Sara and explain why you may have felt the way you did (based on appearance, mannerisms, behaviors, etc.).
Explain any explicit and implicit biases you may have discovered during your review of the case study.
Identify strategies you will use to overcome the explicit and implicit biases you have identified.
Cultural Competency. Select an appropriate cultural competency model from those described by Algougami, Pounds, and Alotaibi that best fits your clinical practice and personal style and can be used to implement culturally competent care for Sara.

In your discussion, identify your patient as part of a changing demographic population of interest. Be sure to describe that population’s related special needs.
Discuss ways to demonstrate a culturally competent approach when caring for members of the selected population.
Conclusion. Write a concluding statement summarizing what you learned based on the case study, assigned readings, discussion forum, and research for this assignment.
