Theory
Madam Leininger Transcultural Theory
Practicing Madam Leininger Transcultural theory allows nursing to address the cultural dynamics that affect the nurse-client relationship. It allows for culturally congruent care and respect of clients cultures. Volunteering in Costa Rica provided us with the opportunity to expand our cultural awareness in many ways.
