Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
According to the Islamic religion, washing of the body should be performed by a person of the same gender. Burial should be done as soon as possible after death, so cremation and embalming will not be needed. The rosary is prayed by Christians usually of Hispanic/Latino American descent.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Hospice care is provided to patients who are terminally ill and wish to have no further aggressive treatment in attempt to cure the disease. The patient's statement that she just wants to be home with her grandchildren indicates a readiness for hospice care.
