Answer to Question 1

ANS: 3
Encourage caregivers to participate in spiritual behaviors or practices (e.g., prayer, attending reli-gious services) to enhance spiritual well-being when appropriate. Since the client has introduced the wish to attend services, it is appropriate for the nurse to make a suggestion to help that hap-pen. Some of the remaining options do encourage the caregiver to discuss the couple's spiritual needs but do not directly deal with the verbalized need. The final option is merely the nurse's statement of religious practice.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: 1
Females are to be examined by females according to the Sikhism religion. Followers of Judaism view visiting the sick as an obligation. They have no restrictions on gender-related care. Follow-ers of Hinduism view illness as being caused by past sins. Prolonging life is discouraged. There are no restrictions on care related to gender. Buddhists believe in Dharma, which teaches that life is impermanent and all persons have to age and die. There are no restrictions on care related to gender.
