Spiritual and Cultural Components of Holistic Nursing

Choose an article on spiritual and/or cultural considerations in health care. I included one about Jehovah’s Witness. Investigate the nursing journals in the library and select an article on this topic. Read the article carefully. Write a review of the article. Outline two to three elements of religious or cultural beliefs that come to bear on medical decisions, then discuss implications one may need to consider as a health care professional.
