Answer to Question 1

A
Observance of the Sabbath is important to a client who follows the traditional health care beliefs of Judaism. This client may refuse treatments scheduled on the Sabbath.
Followers of the Islamic or Christian faith may use faith healing in response to illness.
Religious symbols should not be removed from individuals who practise Hinduism.

When a client feels pain, the TENS unit is turned on, and a buzzing or tingling sensation is cre-ated. The tingling sensation can be applied until pain relief occurs. The therapy requires a physi-cian's order.
The client may adjust the intensity of skin stimulation. The unit does not have to remain on high.
The electrodes do not have to be removed at bedtime.
Medication can be administered when a TENS unit is being used.
