The goal of transcultural nursing is culturally congruent care,or care that fits the person's valued life patterns and set of meanings.Patterns and meanings are generated from people themselves,rather than from predetermined criteria.Culturally congruent care is sometimes different from the values and meanings of the professional health care system.Ethnocentrism is the tendency to view one's own way of life as superior to those of others,and it is not part of culturally congruent care.
