Many are times nurses that the efforts of nurses’ medical interventions have been rejected by the patient owing to their religious beliefs. As such this paper details out the dilemma, the nurses faces while taking care of Jehovah Witness patients and the actions they take to treat the patient without violating their rights.

Both of the religions Hinduism and Judaism are similar but different in their own ways. Hinduism worships many gods and goddesses, whereas Judaism is a confirmedly monotheistic religion. In the Hinduism religion the bedrock is the belief that the Vedas is sacred and the caste system decribed in it. “Hinduism is a guide to life, and the goal of which is to reach union with Brahman, the unchanging ultimate reality”(75). The dharma or moral law that need to be followed. There are many gods that were worshiped and each person may worship a different god. Images of the gods in homes or temples were presented where each person can show devotion to their personal gods by singing hymns or offering flowers before the images. The Hindus believe in many things such as that the universe undergoes and endless cycle of creation, believe in karma, that the soul reincarnates, the belief that all life is sacred.

Humans are accountable for actions and our lives are a result of our past actions. Humans are no more important than animals. Many Hindu believe in reincarnation or the rebirth of the soul in a new body. They may see an animal as someone reincarnated from a different life. When comparing Hinduism and Christianity, they both believe in love for everyone. They both also control behavior through either the ten commandments or through the eightfold path. When contrasting the two, Hindu’s worship multiple deities and Christians worship one God. Christians live one life on earth and when they die they either go to heaven or to hell. Hindus believe that their soul is born as an animal and by living the right way, they climb the ladder to a higher class throughout many

     The English word religion loosely translates into “rules” in Latin. Therefore, a religion teaches us how to think, how to act, and basically everything except what to eat in the morning. The Hindu and Christian religion agree on many things and our society follows some of the rules too because religion and laws are based on humanity. From holy literature many different ideas have been pawned but they are all supposed to lead you to the same things: a happy, healthy life, contribution to the world around us, and some kind of liberation after death. Concerning these ideals the Hindu religion has come up with three ways to make sure that everybody will get what they want out of life and those are the four

Hinduism says that the Lord Brahma is creator of the universe, while the other two gods are part of the triumvirate. The worldview of the Hindu belief is that there are multiple gods. One god, Brahma created the universe, another, Vishnu is the sustainer of creation, and Shiva is the destroyer of life. In contrast, Christianity worldview is there is one triune God, God the Father, God the Son, God

Different religious groups have different believe system in the provision of the healthcare. The health personnel such as doctors and nurses should be aware of the religious beliefs of their patients for effectively delivering medical care. In provision of medical care, religious faith and beliefs of the patient is incorporated with the scientific medical care in offering a holistic medical to the patients. The medical personnel should take into the consideration the religious belief of the patient in the course of offering medical care to the patient. The

The purpose of this paper is to compare philosophies between Christianity and Buddhism. Working in the world of healthcare, we are exposed to different beliefs and faith philosophies that require us to be knowledgeable regarding other’s religion and faith. This is important because it gives us a better understanding and accept why people act or feel a certain way. Different perspectives brings different act and ways to care for others, and by being knowledgeable in this field, we promote better care for patients.

One approach is that the nurse has to understand the religious background of the patient and at the same; he/she should understand each of such religious groups (Bijnen, 2014). After this step, the nurse can show respect by incorporating the patient's choices influenced by religious beliefs into the management. In cases whereby certain religious practices are conflicting with the patient's treatment, the nurse needs to be on the forefront of the management team. His/her role is to reconsider the treatment and come up with an alternative that works best for the patient through the promotion of recovery and at the same time upholding the patient's religious beliefs (Bijnen,

For years now doctors and patients with a strong religious background have clashed over what they is right for them. I have researched for weeks on how these conflicts have affected both doctors and patients. The cultural clash between religion and medicine could cause both the doctors and the patients to be uncomfortable in their own individual ways. In this paper I will discuss how both doctors and religious patients need to find ways to accept each other’s standpoint or opinion on how they should be treated medically and religiously. The main purpose of this paper is convince you of ways that both western doctors and patients with a strong religious background can respect each others belief system of how they should be medically treated in a hospital.

Christian's view is " that everything that exists, including humans, is a result of God, the Creator God" (Weider & Gutierrez, 2011) . Hindu's believe that “everything has always been in existence and is a part of god” (Weider & Gutierrez, 2011). Basically, its God created everything versus everything has just been.

Both religions speak of doing good works. In contrast, Hindus believe that everyone will reach Moksha eventually through good karma, where Christians believe only those who seek God’s salvation will reach heaven. In Hinduism, good work is required to balance karma, whereas in Christianity good works are the result of salvation (Ephesians 2:10), an internal change of heart, and not the way to salvation.

According to Shelly and Miller, ones culture and up bring guides how an individual sees the world. These worldviews, personally and for humanity give meaning to one’s life (Sheely & Miller, 2006). Whether the worldview is religious or not, it is a personal awareness about meaning and reality. Everyone has a worldview which may be different from another’s. These different worldviews can affects how health care is practice.

쀀쀀e in become more evolved as a nation one of the problem that needs to be address is how to response to diverse faith within our healthcare practices. This essay serves to compare these three different religious philosophies: Yoruba, Hinduism (karma) and Buddhism, to a Christian’s perspective. These religions have wide perspectives but one will key in on health management and what to expect from healthcare point of view while caring for these patients. Yoruba religion is based on nature worshipping and is rooted deeply on respect for the environment. Their divinities is called Òrìsà, when it work is complete they become thunderstorm with lightning. Then the formation of the river adjoining into the ocean all of these actions are classified as divinities (Abimbola 2010). All living things are considered sacred and need to be reverenced. Religion cannot be free from the influence of the culture of the people where it is established, Gaiya substantiating this view wrote that culture and religion are two sides of the same coin and that a change in one affects the other (Awoniyi 2011).One will hear words such as Ori which is the soul or the unconscious mind, Èmí-the divine breathe enclosed in our heart and Òlódùmare, our High God.. (Awoniyi 2011).

I believe the two worldviews Hinduism and Biblical worldview is similar because we both worship a God we worship one God they worship many. What unifies the sects though is the worship of Braham. The Hindus believe that Brahma, the creator God, Is what brought them into existence (Hindson). There is one similarity it is that they believe Brahma to be a three-part god, just as we believe God to be the trinity which has three parts. Hindu’s believe that there is Brahma, Vishnu, and Shiva, and each of these three form one Supreme Being. Brahma is the creator, Vishnu sustains creation and Shiva is the destroyer of all evil.

Muslims and Hindus have differing views on god. Muslims are monotheistic, they believe that one god, who they refer to as Allah, created the universe and all things within it. Furthermore Muslims believe that Allah is the only being worthy of worship and that he created mankind for the sole purpose of worshiping him (www.whyislam.org, 2015) Muslims also distain any representation of their gods and prophets. This is in stark contrast to Hindus who worship many gods and are wholly polytheistic. Hindus find release from life by committing their religious attention to one or
