How to care for a Mormon patient or resident

1. Ask the Mormon patient or resident if they have any dietary restrictions. Mormons follow a strict diet code: No coffee, tea, or alcohol. Meat products must not have much blood. Many Mormons fast one day a month. 2. Some Mormons wear a sacred one-or-two-piece undergarment that is removed only for hygiene and laundering. It must be treated with respect. 3. Mormons do not have specific rituals around death. The family should be informed and allowed to spend as much time as possible with the dying person. 4.. If the patient or resident is wearing the sacred undergarment, it should be placed on the person after post-mortem care.
