Which statement made by the student nurse to a Jehovah's Witness patient indicates a need for further learning?
a. "I documented in your medical records that you do not want blood transfusions or blood products."
b. "I will decorate your room with holiday ornaments."
c. "Happy Birthday. I will have the dietary department send up a cake for you."
d. "The organ procurement (donation) center was notified that you did not want to donate an organ."
C
Jehovah's Witnesses do not celebrate birthdays or holidays, with the exception of the anniversary of Christ's death. Thus, asking the dietary department to send up a birthday cake for celebration indicates that the nurse does not understand the Jehovah's Witnesses beliefs and practices. The nurse is correct in noting that Jehovah's Witnesses do not accept blood transfusions or products or donate their organs. Decorating the patient's room for Christmas shows the nurse does not understand the patient's religion.
