Psychosocial IntegrityQuestion 1544 of 2368
A Hindu client wears a thread and jewelry with religious meaning before a procedure. What should the nurse do before removing them?
- Remove them to follow routine policy
- Ask the unit chaplain to remove them
- Discuss the matter with the client or family
- Tape them securely and leave them in place
Show answer
Correct answer: Discuss the matter with the client or family
Adornments may have strong cultural and religious meaning, so staff should not remove them without first discussing it with the client or family.
