Explain how Gina could have handled the situation to improve the way she responded to ethical and legal requirements: The Home Care Services Team at Lotus Care regularly gets together after work on a Friday evening to celebrate the start of the weekend. Team members meet at a local bar where plenty of alcohol tends to be consumed.

Farah has just joined the team as a trainee. She is from Pakistan and is a devout Muslim. She has arranged with her supervisor to have Friday off each week to attend prayers. She is quiet and unassuming and everyone is pleased to have her on the team.
