The nurse should anticipate that the client will say "my religion requires me to fast all day until sunset." Muslims fast during the entire lunar month of Ramadan, but this doesn't mean eating nothing for thirty days. Muslims observe Ramadan by fasting during daylight hours, and eating a meal called Iftar just after sunset and a meal called Sahur right before sunrise.
