A Hindu patient is admitted after a severe head injury and is near death. The organ procurement person tells the nurse, I don't know much about the Hindu religion, and I have to talk to the family about organ donation. Can you give me any hints?
 
  The best response for the nurse would be
 
  a. Organ donation is prohibited by the religion.
  b. The family is very concerned about where the patient's soul will go after death.
  c. The religion permits organ donation, but you would have to ask the family their feelings about it.
  d. It's hard to know what people who believe cows are sacred will think about organ donation.

Question 2

A patient whose religion is listed as Seventh-Day Adventist is admitted to the unit just before lunch. The patient is being examined, and the nurse does not want to interrupt to ask about lunch preferences. A good choice would be to order a
 
  a. regular diet.
  b. Kosher meal.
  c. vegetarian meal.
  d. meal with no dairy products.

Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Although the religion permits organ donation, individuals or families may have differing viewpoints. Organ donation is not prohibited by religion, and the family would not be very concerned about where the patient's soul will go after death. The statement that it's hard to know what people who believe cows are sacred will think about organ donation is not culturally sensitive.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
Many Seventh-Day Adventists are vegetarians. When dietary preferences are unknown, this choice would be safe.
