A, B
The man is typically the head of the household in Muslim families. So the father should be included in all decision making. Muslims do not eat pork and do not use alcohol. Many are vegetarians. The dietician should be consulted for dietary preferences. Muslim women often prefer a female healthcare provider because of laws of modesty; the female client should not be assigned a male nurse. A housekeeping staff should not be asked to interpret. When interpreters are used, they should be of the same country and religion, if possible, because of regional differences and hostilities.
