Question

a client who is a jehovahs witness is admitted to the nursing unit. which concern should the nurse have for planning care in terms of the clients beliefs?

a a vegetarian diet must be followed.

b autopsy of the body is prohibited.

c alcohol use in any form is not allowed.

d blood transfusions are forbidden.

Explanation:

Jehovah's Witnesses have specific religious medical prohibitions, with a well-known restriction on accepting blood transfusions based on their interpretation of religious texts. The other options do not align with core beliefs relevant to nursing care planning: they are not required to follow a vegetarian diet, autopsies are not universally prohibited, and alcohol restrictions are not a defining medical care concern for this group.

Answer:

D. Blood transfusions are forbidden.
