Prejudices can manifest in numerous ways within the nursing profession. They may include:
1. Discriminatory Behavior: Nurses may unconsciously or consciously provide different levels of care based on a patient's background. 2. Stereotyping: Assuming that certain traits or behaviors are universally applicable to all members of a particular group. 3. Communication Barriers: Miscommunication or lack of effective communication due to preconceived notions about patients' abilities or willingness to understand. 4. Microaggressions: Subtle, often unintentional, discriminatory comments or actions.
