text: i need to know health concerns and nursing considerations for the irish culture? need this asap! thanks! same as most people i'd think.  i don't know of any diseases that occur more often for that culture.  ireland is a christian based society,  so anything that would not be acceptable to the christian community should be avoided.  each patient is an individual, so ask about last rites, birth control use, stem cell use, etc. and know a religious figure such as a priest or nun that you could contact with questions, or refer a patient to if they need a bit of spiritual guidance as well as medical.
