formatCase study #1 Mrs. Franklin-Jones was admitted from the Emergency Room to
Cardiac Intensive Care one week ago with a diagnosis of acute myocardial infarction. She
has recovered as expected and is moving to the cardiac step down unit today. She is talking
with Nurse Julie Hernandez, as she gets settled in her new room, “I was really surprised
when I got that bad pain in my chest! I knew I had high pressure but I just didn’t think it was
that bad. I try to take my medicine like they told me to in the clinic but sometimes I forget. I
guess that I need to study those papers they gave me about what foods I should eat and not
eat. I better take care of myself! Momma had bad pressure and it killed her! Who knows—I
may even have to learn to cook different than I was taught in Jamaica! I may have to let
Tomas do the cooking. He’s got more time at home now than I do since he lost his job. There
isn’t too much time between my shifts at the school cafeteria and my new housecleaning
job. You know my sister is coming up from Jamaica to see me. I think she is bringing me
some bush tea. That’ll set me right!”Using Leininger’s Culture Care Model, what factors in

from post-hip replacement surgery and has been transferred to the Rehabilitation Institute
adjacent to the hospital. When he enters the unit, he sees welcoming signs written in several
languages including his own, Creole. Since there are no nurses on that shift that speak
Creole, they use a language line to ask for translation services. During this initial nursing
assessment, the translator informs Mr. Jean-Baptiste that the nurses invite him to have a
relative at his side so that they can be sure to understand and meet his needs. He is asked
about Haitian customs and beliefs that they might honor. Mr. Jean-Baptiste is encouraged to
bring food and spiritual care items, and to share the warmth of his culture with the nursing
staff.What are the assumptions of the Transpersonal Caring relationship. What is the
nurse’s role?How is love, as defined by Watson, evident in this caring moment?How can the
