Cultural desire refers to the nurse's intrinsic motivation to want to engage in the elements neces-sary to provide culturally competent care. The activity that suits the definition of cultural desire is one that a nurse would want to do instead of being directed to do so, referring to the intrinsic motivation of the nurse. Relying on a textbook for information, bringing a translator, and judging others do not demonstrate the definition of cultural desire as they are not demonstrating the in-trinsic motivation of the nurse.
