Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
Muslim patients often wear writings from the scriptures tied to their bodies. They should be allowed to remain on the patient. Making a note of the location of the writing is appropriate, so the OR staff can reposition it, if necessary, for the surgical procedure. The remaining options are incorrect, because the patient should be allowed to wear the writing.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Patients who are Mormon do not drink alcoholic beverages and usually avoid beverages that contain caffeine, making fruit juice, milk, or water the only correct answers.
