Their religious, spiritual, cultural as well as ethnic practices have to be respected. The focus itself has to be on the patient and allowing them full control of their care.
As nurses we are taught to respect these. Not doing so can but a patient in a stressful state. Some of them need to be relaxed and free from stressors.
I couldn't fathom doing something like that to someone who suffered an MI. There are folks that get really upset over this stuff. Folks that suffer MIs need to be in a stress free enviornment. For some, even the littlest of things like not respecting their religious or spiritual beliefs can set them off.
