Answer to Question 1

D
A formal area of study and practice focused on comparative holistic cultural care, health and illness patterns of people with respect to differences and similarities in their cultural values, be-liefs and lifeways with the goal to provide culturally congruent, competent, and compassionate care is Leininger's definition of transcultural nursing (1997).

Answer to Question 2

B, C, D, E
In developing a mission statement, factors such as the organization's products, services, markets, values, public image, and activities for survival need to be considered. Because the mission statement needs to describe the overall purpose of the organization, the wording needs to be carefully crafted. It needs to be derived by a process that respects the organization's culture. The statement needs to have sufficient description to clearly identify the purpose and scope and sug-gest some order of priorities.
