Answer to Question 1

A, B, C, D
Spirituality encompasses finding meaning in the process of living and dying, as well as hope and inner peace. Listening to hymns identifies an activity that connects the patient to his or her beliefs and is helpful in calming anxieties. The distracter does not relate directly to spirituality.

Answer to Question 2

C, B, A, D
For a person to grow, he or she must take risks. Taking risks allows the possibility that failure may occur. It is important to educate clients and to ensure that they understand that failure is not a negative occurrence; rather, it provides the opportunity for change.
