Answer to Question 2

A, B, C, D
One critical thinking model for spiritual health evaluation lists the evaluation process as including a review of the patient's self-perception regarding spiritual health, the patient's view of his/her purpose in life, discussion with the family and close associates about the patient's connectedness, and determining whether the patient's expectations are being met. Attainment of spiritual health is a lifelong goal.
