Rationale 1: A kosher diet is appropriate for Jewish women, not Muslims. Although many of the dietary laws are similar, kosher laws are not appropriate for a Muslim patient.
Rationale 2: In Muslim cultures, childrearing and infant care are handled largely by the mother and female relatives, and the father might be only minimally involved.
Rationale 3: Modesty is very important to Muslims. The patient should be draped with the bed covers during the postpartum assessment.
Rationale 4: In Muslim cultures, childrearing and infant care are handled largely by the mother and female relatives, and the father might be only minimally involved.
