Abstract
Nursing is an applied discipline. Its major concern is with the improvement of nursing care. We deal, today, with the idea that improved nursing care can be given through heightened cultural sensitivity. The author relates a case study in which she was challenged to provide the roles of nurse-collaborator and nurse-educator to a Native American family in a reservation setting, in South Dakota. The rewards proved beyond expectation.Keywords
