Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Promoting connectedness means recognizing that family and friends are providing at least some of the patient's spiritual care. The nurse best assists when offering to call someone for the patient or family. The other options may be appropriate but are not directly related to connectedness.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
With permission, the nurse should consult with the patient's religious leader on this situation. There may be exceptions to the rule to fast during Ramadan for medical conditions. The other options ignore the patient's religious preferences, and both the tube feeding and parenteral nutrition have potential serious side effects.
