You are a female student nurse assigned to care for Mr. Habib, a male patient who is Muslim. He is recovering from surgery for prostate cancer and has a suprapubic incision. He is from Iran and has some difficulty speaking English. You know very little about the Muslim faith. You have been told that his wife is always at the bedside, and she seems very nice. One nurse tells you that she cared for the patient yesterday and that he has “something on a string around his neck.”
