A nurse is caring for a client who has metastatic cancer and practices Catholicism. The client asks the nurse to discuss the afterlife with them. Which of the following statements by the nurse assists in meeting the client's spiritual needs?

A. Select an alternate site to place the oximetry probe if the capillary refill is less than 2 seconds: Capillary refill time is not directly related to the placement of the pulse oximetry probe.
Capillary refill is assessed to evaluate peripheral perfusion.
B. Use an adhesive oximetry probe for a client who has a latex allergy: The type of probe used for pulse oximetry is important, especially for clients with latex allergies. However, the correct action is to use a nonlatex probe or a probe that is compatible with the client's allergy, not necessarily an adhesive probe.
C. Remove polish from the client's fingernail before applying the oximetry probe: Correct. Nail polish can interfere with the accuracy of pulse oximetry readings, as it may affect light transmission through the nail bed. It is essential to remove nail polish or artificial nails before applying the probe.
D. Lubricate the tip of the oximetry probe: Lubricating the tip of the oximetry probe is not necessary for proper use and may interfere with the accuracy of readings.

A. The client's body should be placed on the floor: This is not a specific cultural practice in Islam. In Islamic tradition, the deceased person is usually placed on a raised surface, like a table or bed, to allow family and friends to gather around for prayers and final respects.

B. The client's oldest child will bathe the body: This is not a specific cultural practice in Islam.

In Islamic tradition, the body is usually washed by individuals of the same gender who are experienced in the ritual washing of the deceased, known as "Ghusl."

C. The client's face should be turned toward Mecca: Correct. In Islamic tradition, when a person dies, it is customary to position the body with the head facing the Kaaba in Mecca, which is the holy city in Islam and the direction toward which Muslims pray.

D. The client's body will be adorned with amulets: This is not a specific cultural practice in Islam. While some individuals in various cultures may use amulets or charms for protection, it is not a universal Islamic practice for the deceased.
