10 / 15

Should a Nurse Aide take into account a patient's religious and / or cultural needs when providing patient care? Why or why not?

Yes. Aside from it being the morally proper thing to do, an individual's religious and cultural beliefs are protected by law and the Nurse Aide could face legal difficulties based on discrimination charges if the patient's beliefs are ignored.

No. All patients must be treated fairly and equally so special requests made by any one patient, unfortunately, cannot be granted because it would be unfair to other patients.

Yes. Most care facilities have a "patient is always right" policy and therefore any requests the patient makes are to be followed carefully.

No. The Nurse Aide attends to patients in a medical capacity and proper medical and scientific practices are the same regardless of a patient's religion or culture.
