In 2015 the American Nurses Association (ANA) revised the Nursing: Scope and Standards of Practice which led to the creation of the new Standard 8: Culturally Congruent Practice.
The new standard describes the how and why of culturally congruent practice:
Culturally congruent practice is the application of evidence-based nursing that is in agreement with the preferred cultural values, beliefs, worldview, and practices of the healthcare consumer and other stakeholders. Cultural competence represents the process by which nurses demonstrate culturally congruent practice. Nurses design and direct culturally congruent practice and services for diverse consumers to improve access, promote positive outcomes, and reduce disparities. (ANA, 2015a, p. 31).
