A female Hindu patient with a broken right hand has not touched her vegetarian food for several meals. The nurse intervenes once realizing the problem is
1. Hindus do not like vegetarian food.
2. Hindus can only eat after sundown.
3. Hindus avoid eating with their left hand.
4. Hindus can only eat if they are facing east.
Question 2
A patient in spiritual distress asks a nurse what he thinks about religion. Which of the following replies would be appropriate and therapeutic?
1. Religion is not for everyone. Whether you go to church or not does not affect your health, so don't worry so much about it.
2. We all worry from time to time about whether our beliefs are based on truth or not, so it's normal to worry some.
3. An individual's feelings about religion are personal. I cannot divulge personal information about myself.
4. I find comfort in my religious beliefs. Is there a member of the clergy with whom you would like to visit?
