Discussion Post: Cultural Diversity
John, an 82-year-old patient with advanced prostate cancer, requests medical marijuana for his nausea and loss of appetite. There is no law in Idaho that allows the use of medical marijuana.
o What transcultural theory component is related to the cultural issues John is facing?
o What is the role of the nurse in responding to his request?
o What are the possible legal implications for the nurse? For example, can health workers be exempt from prosecution if they are allowing medicinal marijuana but not providing it?
The response should include a reference list. Double-space, using Times New Roman 12 pnt font, one-inch margins, and APA style of writing and citations.
