Answer to Question 2

Answer: B, D, E

The client who states a loss of faith in God after getting ill, the client who is crying, pacing and moving his head from left to right, and the client who is overheard arguing with clergy about the existence of God may all be experiencing spiritual distress. The client who is observed sitting in a chair before breakfast reading the Bible or who is watching a religious program on the television is demonstrating a behavior of spiritual health.
