The client states, I don't know what all this fuss is about religion. God died years ago. The nurse does believe in God and has a strong inclination to share reasons for that belief with the client.
What is the best question for the nurse to consider before responding to the client's remark?
1. Will I get into trouble if I say anything?
2. How much longer will I be caring for this client?
3. Am I meeting my needs or the client's?
4. How can I best make this client understand?
Question 2
The client diagnosed with diabetes mellitus develops diabetic ketoacidosis after a religious fast. The client tells the nurse, I have fasted during this season every year since I became an adult. I am not going to stop now.
The nurse is not knowledgeable about this particular religion. What is the best action for this nurse?
1. Tell the client that it is different now because of the diabetes.
2. Do some research into the meaning of fasting in this religion.
3. Ask family members of the same religion to discuss fasting with the client.
4. Request a consult from a diabetes educator.
