Answer preview

In the Puerto Ricans’ family values, being overweight is highly endowed since it signs wealth and health. According to Mattei et al. (2018), poor dietary habits creates a challenge for the nurse in advising this group of the importance of a diet plan to reduce health conditions like obesity. Additionally, they believe in family care; hence many consult the family and close friends for any health issues they may be experiencing before reaching out to a health professional. Therefore, this impacts the delivery of care since nurses once consulted need to be culturally sensitive to the advice the patient is given when offering professional care. In healthcare delivery, upholding patients’ cultural values is an essential practice.
