Health Medical Homework Help

M.S. is a 9 year old boy currently hospitalized with kidney failure, which runs in his family. His family is from a remote area of Turkey, and follow the Islamic tradition. His parents believe that his ultimate fate is in God’s hands, and that M.S.’s illness is perceived to be faith, administered by God. Since only God can predict how long M.S. will be ill, they do not perceive much benefit in making firm plans for the future. They use prayers and amulets to assist in healing. In making healthcare decisions for their son, their Imam was the person’s whose opinion was the most relevant.
