Question

You are taking care of a Muslim resident, Mr. Abbas. He is celebrating Ramadan, which means that Muslims fast (no food or drink) from sunrise to sunset each day for a month. The facility is having an Ice Cream Social in the dining room. Mr. Abbas is in his room and asks about the music coming from the dining hall. What should you say?

A. That is a party for people who want to eat and drink.
B. The music is for the Ice Cream Social. I know that it is Ramadan and you are fasting, but would you like to come by anyway to socialize?
C. That's for the Ice Cream Social, but I know that you are not interested because you are fasting now.
D. Are you allowed to have food today? That's the music for the Ice Cream Social.

Answer 1

The correct response to Mr. Abbas would be option B. You can tell him, 'The music is for the Ice Cream Social. I know that it is Ramadan and you are fasting, but would you like to come by anyway to socialize?'

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct response to Mr. Abbas would be option B. You can tell him, "The music is for the Ice Cream Social.
