Explanation:
Giger and Davidhizar's transcultural model specifies six dimensions of culture that are essential in nursing assessment, with an underlying assumption that every patient is culturally unique. The element of social organization is addressed by assessing the patient's family and what roles members assume in relation to each other. Assessing the patient's self-control is an example of the environmental context aspect of this model. Reviewing the patient's genetic history and alterations in genetic makeup addresses the biological variations aspect of this model. Determining what the patient conveys with both speech and nonverbal communication best exemplifies the communication aspect of this model.
