Nclex-rn Worries

Silverdragon102, BSN · Oct 1, 2005

Hello Everybody: I truly need your help. A friend of mine has just taken NCLEX-RN, and she told me some of the Q were about post mortem cares to a Jewish patient, and a Russian Ortodox patient. I have Silvestri's Saunders Review Book. I've search in it and I found very little on this subject. Could anybody tell me where to find more?
On the other hand, she was asked about Paget's Bone Disease. Which I recall as a child's disease. I couldn't find anything regarding this. I'd apprecialte if someone could tell me where to find info on this subject too.
Thank you all!!

There are differences in the Jewish religion as to what is done in a general way. The orthodox are the most releigious, and in death, the person is not left alone, until they are taken to the funeral home. A family member will stay at the bedside. They are also not to be wrapped in a shroud by the nurses, unless there is a Jewish nurse there. Organ donations are even stressed by the rabbis as a good thing to do, but autopsies are to be done only as required by the medical examiner for cases of trauma, etc.

Russian Orthodox follow routine traditions, it is considered a tragedy to the family and is not a happy occasion as in some religions. Organ donations adn autopsies are acceptable.

You are already coverd for the Paget's disease, hope that this helps answer your other questions.
