After a Seventh Day Adventist clergyman performed anointing of oil, a nurse bathed the patient. Upon entering the room, the family immediately became upset. When questioned by the nurse, the family states:
1. "Bathing is painful and we don't wish anyone to cause him further discomfort."
2. "He should not have been bathed for several hours following anointment with oils."
3. "The Church forbids anyone but family to bathe loved ones."
4. "His bath should be done by a nurse of the same sex."
