C
Feedback:
Planning care compatible with the client's health belief system is a characteristic of transcultural nursing. Acknowledging that clients with the same skin color have similar social situations leads to stereotyping. Stereotyping can be dangerous because it is dehumanizing and also interferes in accepting others as unique individuals. Culture is influenced by specific conditions related to environment. Performing health-related activities and restoring wellness is an important aspect of nursing and does not only pertain to transcultural nursing.
