Abstract
Radiology nursing is a semiautonomous nursing specialty, with professional development requirements related to cultural competency. Standards of cultural competence in radiology nursing are presented and applied to the resolution of three encounters with Asian American patients based on real-life incidents. Recommendations are offered for personal and organizational enhancement of cultural competency as a strategy for quality improvement in patient care, especially for the Asian American population.
