"Cultural safety is based on attitudes which are difficult to measure. It needs to be considered  alongside other equally important safety requirements such as clinical, ethical, legal and physical  safety” (Wepa, 2005, p. 25).

(Short quotations (less than 40 words) are placed directly in double quotation marks ("...") with the reference source, followed by a period.)

Longer quote – 40 words or more
Examples within the text
Cultural safety considerations are similar in that students are interacting in a bicultural (two-personed) context, where they are the giver of a health service and the client is the receiver of  that service. These bicultural interactions will be different with every interaction, but the  nurse's awareness of the power differential between themselves and client will be constant.  (Wepa, 2005, p. 25)
