Suicide is considered a bad death.

Organ donation is prohibited.

There are spiritual gods to protect him during the process of dying.

Final decisions about death are made by the provider.

Answer and Explanation

The Correct Answer is A

A. In the Islamic perspective, committing suicide is considered as a grave sin, and Muslims are clearly instructed in several verses in the Holy Quran to avoid killing one another or killing one’s self.
B. Organ donation is prohibited. This is incorrect. Organ donation is generally permissible in Islam if it helps save lives, though beliefs and practices can vary among individuals and cultural interpretations.
C. There are spiritual gods to protect him during the process of dying. In Islam, there is a belief in one God (Allah). The concept of multiple spiritual gods is not consistent with Islamic teachings.
D. Final decisions about death are made by the provider. This is incorrect. In Islam, the belief is that Allah ultimately controls life and death, though healthcare providers play a crucial role in caring for the dying.

Correct Answer is B

Explanation

A. Ask the client's son to explain the preoperative interventions. This is not appropriate as it may lead to miscommunication and is not in line with professional standards for interpretation.
B. Inform the provider about the situation with the client. This is correct. The provider should be informed to address the client's refusal of preoperative care appropriately.
C. Reinforce the benefits of the surgery to the client. Reinforcing the benefits does not address the communication barrier and the client's immediate refusal.
D. Request another client who speaks the same language to act as an interpreter. This is inappropriate and breaches confidentiality. Professional interpreters should be used.

A. Flush the port with heparin prior to administering the medication. B. Inject the medication into the port closest to the client. C. Pinch the tubing below the injection port prior to administration. D. Administer the medication over 10 seconds.

Correct Answer is B

Explanation

A. Flush the port with heparin prior to administering the medication. Heparin is not typically used to flush the port before administering IV medications; saline is generally used for flushing.
B. Inject the medication into the port closest to the client. This ensures the medication is delivered quickly and effectively, minimizing dilution and maximizing its effect.
C. Pinch the tubing below the injection port prior to administration. Pinching the tubing can help ensure the medication goes into the client quickly but should be done only if specified by protocol.
D. Administer the medication over 10 seconds. Fentanyl should be administered slowly over 1-2 minutes to prevent rapid administration-related side effects like hypotension or respiratory depression.
