Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 3

Mauk and Schmidt (2004) define spirituality as the core of a person's being, involving one's relationship with God or a higher power. Spirituality may or may not involve a belief in a Supreme Being. Depending on the individual beliefs, spirituality may involve seen and unseen forces. For example, the use of religious articles defines spirituality for some individuals and these items can be seen and held. Spirituality encompasses many religions with varied belief systems.
