Final Answer : B , Explanation :  Both male and female Mormons wear special sacred undergarments that are removed only for hygiene,intimacy,and bathroom use.Nurses may also remove it before surgery,but it must be considered intensely private and be treated with respect.Rastafarian females will not wear second-hand clothes and require a gown that has not been worn by others.Muslim women prefer to be treated by female staff.Inquiring about prayer is inappropriate because the patient should initiate the request; further,prayer is not specific to this religion.
