From the Paper:

"Leininger's Theory and a Clinical Scenario The scenario consists of a conflict between a doctor and a family of another culture. The doctor draws me into this conflict by requesting that I take drastic measures. This paper will be an analysis of the clinical scenario as it is and as it ideally should be. The theorist chosen for this analysis is Leininger because she is the only nursing theorist to concern herself completely with culture. Leininger (2001, p. 18) founded transcultural nursing which is "focused on comparative care knowledge of specific and diverse cultures to help people regain and maintain their well-being". "
