Teach your students how to provide quality care for clients from culturally diverse backgrounds! Transcultural Nursing, 9th Edition shows students how to apply assessment and intervention strategies to individuals from a variety of different cultures. Based on Giger and Davidhizer’s unique transcultural model, this text helps students understand culturally sensitive care with use of the six key aspects of cultural assessment: communication, time, space, social organization, environmental control, and biologic variations. Practical, real-world coverage shows how an understanding of cultural variations and individual patient needs can promote safe and effective care.
    • UPDATED! Content throughout reflects the latest research and thinking related to transcultural nursing, as well as updated Census data.
    • UPDATED! Cultural chapters reflect the shifting experiences of cultural groups in our society.
