From the Paper:

"Leininger's Transcultural Nursing Theory Applied to a Clinical Scenario Since the situation in the clinical scenario is completely based in culture, the only logical choice for a nursing theorist is Leininger, the founder of transcultural nursing. "Transcultural nursing is focused on comparative care knowledge of specific and diverse cultures to help people regain and maintain their well-being" (Leininger, 2001, p. 18). The whole situation in the triage room could have been avoided if the care providers had knowledge of cultural sensitivity and therefore understood the trajectory of action that should have been taken."
