John, an 82-year-old patient with advanced prostate cancer, requests medical marijuana for his nausea and loss of appetite. There is no law in Idaho that allows the use of medical marijuana.
- What transcultural theory component is related to the cultural issues John is facing?
- What is the role of the nurse in responding to his request?
- What are the possible legal implications for the nurse? For example, can health workers be exempt from prosecution if they are allowing medicinal marijuana but not providing it?
