Answer to Question 1

ANS: A, D, E
Interventions that are appropriate for spiritual distress include (1) helping the patient develop/identify activities to heal body, mind, and spirit; (2) offering to pray with the patient; and (3) teaching relaxation, guided imagery, and medication. Attendance at church should be encouraged as well as spending time with a support group.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
Because each person has a unique spirituality, you need to know your own beliefs so you are able to care for each patient without bias. While learning about religions, visiting other religious areas of worship, and traveling to areas that do not have the same beliefs are beneficial, they are not essential.
