Abstract
- Abstract: It is important for nurse practitioners to understand their patients' cultural backgrounds to provide competent care at the end of life. Understanding the concepts of various cultures can keep the lines of communication open and help providers elicit the necessary information to make the end-of-life experience as comfortable as possible.
