title: Ritual circumcision: educating parents.
abstract: Ritual circumcision, an ancient tradition with deep religious significance, is practiced by many cultures including those of the Jewish faith. As with any surgical procedure, there are some risks involved. Parents who choose to have their child circumcised in a ritual manner would benefit from the teaching that an informed nurse could provide in order to make an informed choice.
