The healthcare team of a hospital postpones a discussion regarding the discharge of a young Hispanic client because the client’s culture strongly believes that older family members and other relatives should be consulted on important health-related matters. Which nursing theory does the healthcare team abide by?

The healthcare team's decision to postpone the discussion regarding the discharge of a young Hispanic client to consult with older family members and other relatives aligns with the principles of the "Cultural Care Diversity and Universality Theory," developed by Madeleine Leininger. This theory, often referred to simply as the Transcultural Nursing Theory, emphasizes that culturally congruent care is pivotal to successful nursing practice. It suggests that understanding and incorporating a patient's cultural beliefs, values, and practices into their care plan can lead to better health outcomes and increased satisfaction with the care provided.
