Answer to Question 1

A, B, D
Cultural care accommodation/negotiation is part of Leininger's theory.
Cultural care repatterning/restructuring is part of Leininger's theory.
Cultural preservation/maintenance is part of Leininger's theory.
Cultural compromise/confrontation is not part of Leininger's theory.
Cultural reeducation/recreating is also not part of Leininger's theory.

Answer to Question 2

D
Across all three domains of nursing (education, practice, and research), theory remains a tool that serves to make meaningful connections among various bits of information collected. Theories and frameworks provide direction and guidance for structuring professional nursing practice, education, and research. This meaning then guides nursing action. Theory can guide data collection and implementation of nursing activities, but all situations need to be seen in their holistic and individualized entireties.
Theory should drive nursing actions, just as nursing action should inform theory.
Theories are not meant to be rigid and unyielding; in fact, theories help explain variations in patient situations, guide holistic nursing education, and can help formulate questions for research.
