A formal area of study that uses the concepts of culture and caring

Patterns of behavior

Transcultural nursing’s goal is to:

Develop a scientific and humanistic body of knowledge in order to provide nursing care that is both

Culture specific

Culture universal

Transcultural Nursing #4

Culture-specific refers to:

Particular values, beliefs, and patterns of behavior that tend to be special or unique to a group and do not tend to be shared with members of other cultures

Culture-universal refers to:

The commonly shared values, norms of behavior, and life patterns that are similarly held among cultures about human behavior and lifestyles

Question #1

Is the following statement true or false?

Methods, rules, guidelines, and patterns of behavior about food practices can be described as culture-specific.

Answer to Question #1

True

Rationale: The need for food is a culture-universal.

Culture-specific determines methods, rules, guidelines, and patterns of behavior. For example, items that are considered to be edible; acceptable methods used to prepare and eat meals; rules concerning who eats with whom, the frequency of meals, etc.

Weekly Participation

Your initial responses to the mandatory DQ do not count toward participation and are graded separately.
In addition to the DQ responses, you must post at least one reply to peers (or me) on three separate days, for a total of three replies.
Participation posts do not require a scholarly source/citation (unless you cite someone else’s work).
Part of your weekly participation includes viewing the weekly announcement and attesting to watching it in the comments. These announcements are made to ensure you understand everything that is due during the week.

APA Format and Writing Quality

Familiarize yourself with APA format and practice using it correctly. It is used for most writing assignments for your degree. Visit the Writing Center in the Student Success Center, under the Resources tab in LoudCloud for APA paper templates, citation examples, tips, etc. Points will be deducted for poor use of APA format or absence of APA format (if required).
Cite all sources of information! When in doubt, cite the source. Paraphrasing also requires a citation.
I highly recommend using the APA Publication Manual, 6th edition.
