Which statement is part of Leininger's Transcultural View of Caring?
Explanation & Rationale
A. Caring and curing are basically synonymous is incorrect. Leininger’s theory distinguishes between caring (focused on the emotional and cultural aspects) and curing (focused on medical interventions). B. Caring acts are independent of patient values is also incorrect. According to Leininger, caring is culturally based and must be aligned with the patient’s values, beliefs, and preferences. C. Care is tailored to meet the needs of the individual patient is correct. Leininger’s Transcultural Nursing Theory emphasizes that caring should be specific to the individual, considering their cultural background and personal experiences. D. Care uses a standardized approach for all patients is incorrect because Leininger’s theory advocates for culturally specific care, not a one-size-fits-all approach.
