Ordinary Mexicans live on the belief of Catholics. Mexico has been greatly influenced by the Catholic Church. Therefore, the relationship between the Catholic Church and the state has been occasionally hostile and tense. Recent decades have been marked with active protestant missionaries among the poor people in urban cities and southern parts of Mexico (Raingruber et al., 2010).
There is a rich cultural diversity in the current modern world. A wide range of populations are immersed in shared value systems and beliefs based on customs, ways of life and norms. It is important to be aware of cultural differences at all nursing levels in order to communicate and educate nurses and clients (Lee & Brysiewicz, 2009). Nursing care founded on cultural sensitivity has recognized the importance of acknowledging and respecting human beings as a whole. This is regardless of religion, heritage, knowledge, race, education, ethnicity, and background. The nursing profession emphasizes on the practice of culturally sensitive nursing. It is crucial to understand the importance care in enhancing the family's and patient's comfort. In addition, it motivates the patient to be open and comply with the nursing requirements while providing ease of passage for friends and family members.

Sometimes, health practices of other people may appear to be meaningless or strange (Raingruber et al., 2010).

The nursing profession experiences cultural sensitivity barriers such as discrimination, prejudice, racism, and stereotyping. In some situations, professionals tend to have poor sensitivity without being aware of it or without the intent to offend other people. They can demonstrate respect towards patients by embracing simple steps such as addressing clients using their last names, inquiring about their beliefs or asking them how they would prefer to be addressed. Nursing professionals should not hold assumptions about clients or their beliefs. They are advised to ask questions in thoughtful and professional manner (Klee et al., 2012).
