Answer to Question 1

A
Feedback:
The Amish and Mennonite religion's practices include that the family cares for the body and the funeral is often at the home. Baptists practice prayer and communion. Buddhists have a priest perform last rites and chanting rituals. The Christian Science has a reader called with no last rites.

Answer to Question 2

A
Feedback:
Assisting the client to die with dignity involves the client participating and choosing the remainder of life and supporting the acceptance stage of dying. Sharing the nurse's own views about life after death does not support the client's own influence of culture, ethnicity, or religious beliefs. Only when a client requests assistance should the nurse provide it, because otherwise the nurse is not supporting the client's acceptance of the final stage of growth and development.
