Answer to Question 1

Ans: B
Feedback:
Spiritual interventions are more ecumenical, cross-cultural, internal, affective, transcendent, and experiential than religious interventions. Interventions should be agreed on in partnership with clients. They should be tailored to clients' worldviews and unique personal coping mechanismsin particular, those reported by clients to have helped them during past illnesses or crises. Spiritual interventions may include prayer, bibliotherapy with sacred writings, contemplation and meditation, repentance and forgiveness, worship and rituals, fellowship and altruistic service, and journal writing.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: C
Feedback:
Many seniors who practice a faith tradition have lower levels of depression, anxiety, and alcoholism; experience higher life satisfaction and greater well-being; and adapt better to the rigors of personal loss, physical illness, and disability than their nonreligious counterparts.
