Abstract
This paper focuses on improving nurses' skills in counseling Mexican American women with prenatal risk for pesticide exposure through examination of the cultural and social factors. Organophosphates are of special concern because of adverse health effects associated with exposure, particularly negative pregnancy outcomes. Nurses can achieve culturally competent care by combining the professional and cultural care knowledge. The information presented here is in line with Competency IV and Practice Skill VI of the National Pesticide Competency Guidelines for Medical and Nursing Education (National Environmental Education & Training Foundation [NEETF], 2003).
