Question 5 of 5
Caring is the essence and central unifying, a dominant domain that distinguishes nursing from other health disciplines. Care is an essential human need.
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Madeleine Leininger's theory positions caring as nursing's essence, a unifying force distinguishing it from medicine or other fields. Developed in the 1970s, her Culture Care Theory asserts that care is a universal human need, but its expression varies culturally. She describes it as central (core to nursing), unifying (binding the profession), and dominant (setting it apart), unlike Benner's skill focus, Watson's spiritual caring, or Swanson's process-oriented approach. For example, a nurse adjusting pain management for a patient's cultural beliefs reflects Leininger's view. Her mnemonic ‘CUD I LIE IN GER' (Central, Unifying, Dominant) aids recall, emphasizing caring's primacy. This perspective shaped transcultural nursing, urging practitioners to integrate cultural competence into care, a critical distinction in today's diverse healthcare landscape.
