The nurse is clearing the bedside area to give a bed bath to a Muslim woman the day after a cesarean section. The culturally sensitive nurse would:
1. pick up and move the copy of the Koran so that it will not be soiled with bath water.
2. ask the patient to remove the taviz to prevent it from being touched by a non-Muslim.
3. offer a quiet time after the bath for prayer.
4. be especially protective of her modesty.

Muslim women are extremely modest and prefer clothes that cover the entire body. The Koran is not to be handled by any "unclean" person and the taviz is worn at all times. Mus-lim women are excused from prayer for 40 days after childbirth.
