CULTURE CARE MODEL1
Case Study 1:
Answer 1)
Using Leininger’s Culture Care Theory, it was crucial for the nurse to understand the
culture, values and beliefs of the patient that will allow the nurse to provide best nursing care.
From the story shared by the patient, Mrs Jones, it was important that the nurse Hernandez
should consider all the important factors before discharging the patient that include teaching
the patient how to monitor her blood pressure regularly, listing the medicine of the patient
and setting an alarm that will remind the patent to tale medicine and educating the patient to
take care of herself and listing the food that she need to eat in order to maintain her health
condition (McFarland & Wehbe, 2017).

with respect to health-disorder caring practice and nursing (Leininger, 2015). Different values
and beliefs were also considered that provided the basis of establishing effective goal to
deliver efficacious and meaningful nursing care to the patient. The cultural gap is promoted
and fulfilled in this theory thereby allowing the nurses to effectively communicate with the
patient and treat the patient bad health condition.
