Congruent Practice: The registered nurse practices in a manner that is congruent with cultural diversity and inclusion principles” (American Nurses Association, 2015).
The Giger and Davidhizar Transcultural Assessment Model

Jewish Americans are referred to those Caucasian individuals who have immigrated to the United States from another country, such as Eastern Europe (Hays and Erford, 2014).
