researcher has obtained data in the upper part of the model, the nursing actions or decisions become evident. The researcher involves informants in the discussion to arrive at appropriate actions, decisions, or plans. Throughout this discovery process, the researcher holds his or her own epic views, resuppositions, and biases in abeyance, so that the informants cultural ideas will come forth, because they, rather than the researcher s views, are important and are the reason for the study. Transcultural nurses are taught, guided, and mentored in ways to withhold and deal with their biases and prejudices through formal courses and clinical experiences in transcultural nursing.
