Hi there,
I am currently doing a Diploma, in health, and as part of that, I have to research different religions that a patient may have, and how that may impact their quality of care. I have chosen to research the religion of LDS, as i currently do not know a lot about this religion and I am very interested, both personally and professionally. I know this religion was a big part of my family many years ago, but some how as my generation came, the religion had been lost. Hence why I am interested n finding out more. If any of you have any spare time, please could you read over what I have written and help me fill in the blanks. I really do hope what I Have written does not offend any of you, or the religion in its self, that is not my intention (as I have said, I am personally interested) but it is just information (and not a lot of it ) that I have currently found on the internet. I just figure It would be more beneficial to actually seek advice from the members, rather than 3rd parties.
Eating:
The a patient practising the Mormon religion (the church of jesus christ of latter-day saints) would eat mostly fruits, vegetables, grains and little meat. Tea, coffee, alcohol, tobacco products and addictive substances are prohibited.
Toileting:
