A.Incorrect. This model helps professionals gain the knowledge needed to understand personal and relational culture and multiculturalism and their effects on choices and choice-making.
B.Incorrect. This model is incorrect because there is nothing to indicate that the Miller family or the nurse are of different cultures. It contains material that all cultures can appreciate because each culture can respond to the significance of the structural information, the essence of caring, transcultural ethics, transcultural context and universal sources.
C.Correct. The operational aspect guides understanding, meaning, and behavior to co-create choices and the best possible future in the nurse-patient/family/community relationship in given transcultural situations.
D.Incorrect. Illustrative is a term used interchangeably with representative.
