I will be posting questions every now and again given interviews are out. I will give sample points to consider a few days after posting. Given I have certain committments I may not be able to reply to every question here but will try to reply and help those as needed.
These questions may be sourced from other universities with my own edits to them.
An elderly Muslim patient with dementia had come in with gallstones and his gallbladder had been removed in a recent surgery. He is recovering well on the ward from the surgery but had been accidentally given bacon as part of his breakfast. He has eaten half of his breakfast already before his son comes into the room. The son notices the half eaten breakfast and becomes extremely angry and confrontational towards hospital staff because it is against their religion to consume pig products.

- What should the nurse do in this situation?
- What would you tell the family if the patient was the one that did not specify his dietary requirements?
- Can you think of any other situations where cultural and/or religious sensitivity is important in a hospital environment?
- What changes would you make to the hospital system to ensure people with certain cultural and religious beliefs are being catered to?
EDIT: Can admin please change threat to thread XD thanks. Done, from LMG
