Study Notes

Quiz 2 Study Notes - NUR-3100

  • Primary Culture Example: A primary culture example is not provided. The question presents examples of different life situations (farmer, nurse, criminal justice student, etc.) but does not identify one as primary culture.

  • Culture vs. Climate: Climate is not considered part of a culture; cultural elements include community pride, reverence for nature, gender roles, etc.

  • Transcultural Nursing Theory & Uniqueness: Leininger's sunrise model emphasizes the uniqueness of each individual.

  • Acculturation Illustration: Acculturation is demonstrated when an individual learns new behaviors and expectations while adjusting to a new culture, such as in moving to the US and understanding dating norms.

  • Culture & Health: Culture influences health through norms related to diet, exercise, sleep, and family beliefs.

  • Learning Cultural Rules: Cultural rules are learned primarily within the family, not in school or church. While societal institutions may reinforce societal values, familial training is the primary source.

  • Restructuring/Repatterning in Leininger's Model: Restructuring happens when a patient's cultural practices potentially negatively interact with health, requiring adaptation (e.g., substituting cooking methods), or when a nurse acknowledges/supports the patient's use of prayer.

  • Race & Health Impacts: Race affects health through cultural perspectives/needs, genetic diseases, predisposition to diseases (like hypertension), and medication metabolism differences.

  • Cultural Competence First Step: Self-awareness of the nurse forms the first step toward cultural competence.

  • Giger-Davidhizar Cultural Dimension - Space: Proxemics (personal space) is a key part of the Giger-Davidhizar space dimension.

  • Polychronic vs. Monochronic Societies: Polychronic societies are more likely to disregard tardiness than monochronic ones.
