Professional nurses must provide knowledgeable, sensitive, and culturally congruent care. Madeleine Leininger’s Theory of Culture Care Diversity and Universality focuses on culture care, which is highly relevant to our multicultural world. For this discussion activity, you will apply Leininger’s theory to a nursing situation.
Begin by discussing an experience you may have had with a culturally diverse patient. Did you encounter any difficulties with caring for this patient? If so, did you consider it culturally related or simply patient resistance? Did it have an impact on the care of the patient? Explain why it is important for a nurse to distinguish the difference between cultural diversity and perceived patient resistance. If you haven’t experienced this in your practice, discuss a current peer-reviewed article that addresses this topic.
