The nurse has attended a staff development conference on cultural considerations for clients receiving hospice care. Which of the following statements if made by the nurse would require follow-up?
❍ A. The family of a client of the Buddhist faith may ask for a priest to be present at the time of death.
❍ B. The family of a client of the Jewish faith may request to have mirrors covered after the death of the client.
❍ C. The family of a client of the Islamic faith may request that the body of the client be turned prone at the time of the client's death.
❍ D. The family of a client of the Hindu faith prefers client receiving hospice care to return home as their time of death approaches.
Maybe you thought that all those nursing questions regarding cultural awareness during care were just for nursing school? Think again. The only change to the NCLEX this April 2019 is a slight increase of culture-related questions. You need to be up on what religions want which practices and typical characteristics of ethnic groups.
Honestly, I sometimes think that NCLEX toes the lines of stereotyping various groups when they create questions. Not like the above question, which is based on religious facts. There have been a few awkward African American questions I've answered where I thought to myself, "Really, NCLEX? Really?"
Question interpretation: Which fact about the various religious groups is incorrect?
We are looking for the WRONG statement because the question asks which of the following statements would require follow-up.
Correct answer: C.
Rationale:
Let's look at our answer choices. Answer A states that the Buddhist faith may ask for a priest to be present at the time of death. Did you think priests were only present in Christianity? Think again! B is a true statement because, in the Jewish faith, all mirrors are covered for seven days after the deceased's death to prevent evil spirits from entering the household. C is therefore our final answer, as Islamic families will ask for the body to be turned to fast east, toward Mecca, the birthplace of the prophet Muhammad. D is a correct statement because the Hindu faith prefers the client to be surrounded by loved ones at home for the moment of death, and then the body be ritually bathed and dressed by family members only.
