Disclaimer
This activity is designed for educational purposes. Participants have a responsibility to utilize this information to enhance their professional development to improve patient outcomes. Conclusions drawn by the participants should be derived from careful consideration of all available scientific information. The participant should use his/her clinical judgment, knowledge, experience, and diagnostic decision-making before applying any information, whether provided here or by others, for any professional use.
Implicit Bias
Defaulting to stereotypes about your patients may lead to a lack of trust and poor health outcomes. It is very important to treat each patient as a unique individual who may or may not hold beliefs associated with their backgrounds and circumstances. In addition to treating each patient as a unique individual, the nurse must strive to be aware of their own biases and endeavor not to let them influence the quality of care they provide.
