Part 1 – Initial Post – Read the article posted in the reading section. Read sections in your text for Leininger and any other sources for information on the theorist. Please make sure that you read about the sunrise model and discuss this in your post.
Choose a cultural group that you are interested in e.g. American Indian women, Cuban exiles, Mormons etc.
As the public health nurse, how would you incorporate Leininger’s culture care theory in your practice? Please be specific; must be relevant to the culture that you selected (get and cite information on this culture). Answer the following questions with relevant headings.
1. Give a very brief description of one health care practice of your choice of cultural group. Remember that a health care practice is different from a health care belief.
2. How would Leininger view this culture practice OF THE CHOSEN GROUP.
You must proofread your paper. But do not strictly rely on your computer’s spell-checker and grammar-checker; failure to do so indicates a lack of effort on your part and you can expect your grade to suffer accordingly. Papers with numerous misspelled words and grammatical mistakes will be penalized. Read over your paper – in silence and then aloud – before handing it in and make corrections as necessary. Often it is advantageous to have a friend proofread your paper for obvious errors. Handwritten corrections are preferable to uncorrected mistakes.
Use a standard 10 to 12 point (10 to 12 characters per inch) typeface. Smaller or compressed type and papers with small margins or single-spacing are hard to read. It is better to let your essay run over the recommended number of pages than to try to compress it into fewer pages.
Likewise, large type, large margins, large indentations, triple-spacing, increased leading (space between lines), increased kerning (space between letters), and any other such attempts at “padding” to increase the length of a paper are unacceptable, wasteful of trees, and will not fool your professor.
The paper must be neatly formatted, double-spaced with a one-inch margin on the top, bottom, and sides of each page. When submitting hard copy, be sure to use white paper and print out using dark ink. If it is hard to read your essay, it will also be hard to follow your argument.
