Advance Patient Care

1. Sister Mary is a patient in Level 2 Emergency Department. She must have a neural examination, physical assessment, radiographs of her facial bones, and a computed tomography scan of the head. Taking into consideration that she is a Roman Catholic nun, what would be the ideal course of patient education as this woman progresses from department to department?

2. What possible reservations could a health care professional have in working with Sister Mary? (Discuss the psychosocial responses the professional might have.)
