Answer to Question 1

C
Feedback:
The nurse can provide the best kind of spiritual support to the client and the family by providing compassionate care. Asking the client's family to join a religious group, encouraging religious rituals, or discourses by a spiritual person are not appropriate interventions, because the client and the family are not rooted in any organized religion.

Answer to Question 2

B
Feedback:
Nursing care should be primarily directed toward the physical needs. Because the client is unresponsive and gradually separating from the world, the client does not have any emotional, spiritual, or social needs.
