ANSWER TO THE QUESTION OF THE WEEK:
Answer B. The client's religious beliefs prohibit him from consuming pork products. He is firmly expressing a concern about the potential conflict of medicine and his religious beliefs. Option B is correct, as the rabbi may be able to advise the client on the medicinal use of pork products according to the Jewish faith. Answer A is not the best option, as the family may posses the same opintion as the client. Answers C and D are incorrect as the client's cultural/religious needs are totally being ignored. Perhaps all the client may need is the approval from his rabbi to assure that his faith philosophy is not violated.
