An LPN learns her newly admitted female patient is of the Muslim faith. Which of these actions would not be appropriate to take before meeting the patient?

While some Muslim women prefer to cover their bodies and wear a hijab (hair covering), many also dress in Western clothing. It is best to discuss clothing preferences with your patient to learn what she typically wears and to find options that will work in the hospital setting.
Researching prayer space and the availability of an Imam and Halal food before meeting the patient is a good idea for a couple of reasons. First, it allows the nurse to know what resources are available before offering them to the patient. In addition, it shows the patient that the nurse desires to provide culturally sensitive care and hopefully gets the relationship and hospital stay off to a good start.
