Leninger Model
The author of this report has been asked to explore and flesh out some question relating to Leninger's Theory of Nursing, which has come to be known as the Cultural Care Diversity and Universality.

The assertions that will be offered will be given in bullet point format.
As stated in the introduction, Leninger's theory was and is still known as cultural care diversity and universality (Leininger, 1988).
The theory is about three decades old at this point and it has evolved and changed over the years (Leininger, 1988).
The theory was initiated from clinical experiences recognizing that culture, a holistic concept, was the supposed "missing link" as it relates to nursing knowledge and practice (Leininger, 1988).
Leninger advocated the use of a process of concept explication, reformulation and re-synthesis (Leininger, 1988).
The theory-maker holds that cultural care provides the broadest and the most important means to study, explain and help predict the totality of nursing knowledge and "concomitant" nursing care practice (Leininger, 1988).
The goal of the theory...
If there is evidence that the Leninger model is beneficial and effective, it could and should be used in everyday practice and habits of nurses (Leininger, 1988).
As far as how this compares to organizational philospophy, it would perhaps be a little narrow to use in all aspects of medical care. For example, using the model for an entire hospital's operations would perhaps not be the best way to do things. However, it could certainly be the focal point of patient care. This would be even truer in a hospital or facility that serves a minority or ethnically diverse area. Culture would matter a great deal in such situations.
Culture should be…

Religion and health have long been linked, and continue to be so in most cultures around the world. In fact, both mental and physical health problems were once believed to have supernatural or spiritual origins, a belief which persists until this day in spite of empirical evidence showcasing the biological and chemical causes of illnesses (Koenig, 2000). Regardless of whether or not religion is a worthwhile social institution, religion, spirituality,
Fortunately because the nurse had called the husband he walked in at that moment and signed the consent. This article illustrates the importance of understanding various cultural beliefs and using that understanding to provide more comfortable care for the patient. It also cautions against using that understanding to ignore patient concerns or requests. The article drives home the fact that no one can be sure that another person's beliefs are wrong.
This entertainment is the ceremonial or festive taking of alcoholic drinks at events called "beer parties." Researchers noted the significance of the festive element of work among the laborers but showed beer as an essential aspect of work. The rule in these beer work parties are adjusted to the particular workers involved. It invokes the overall value and morality of helpfulness and reciprocity, which are part of beer-drinking events.
