What possible reservations could a health care professionals have in working with Sister Mary?. After educating the patient on the various ways that would be followed during treatment, the health professional needs to make some reservation to ensure that there is effective communication that would ensure proper treatment of the patient (Falvo, 2010). Given that the religion is a set of rituals, beliefs and practices, it is important for the medical professional to reserve some of the professional perspectives of disease and align the treatment procedures on the beliefs, rituals and practices of the patient. In this case, even if the medical professional is not a member of the Catholic Church, there is need to go by the belief of the patient that God knows the cause of the disease and it is through God that medical practitioners can treat the disease. Also, the medical professional need to reserve the right of the patient to choose the person to attend to her. In this case, the Catholic nuns do not allow men to touch their bodies hence she should be reserved the right to be served by a female medical professional (Falvo, 2010). Furthermore, the medical practitioner has the reservation of ensuring that the patient is treated with dignity where her confidentiality is assured apart from informing the patient the kind of disease and the kind of treatment that will be administered.
