Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 2

Nurses can become aware of their own spiritual values through values-clarification activities. A nurse should first perform personal values-clarification activities prior to beginning actual patient care that may be comprised of performing physical assessments, obtaining or reviewing patient history information and determining the cultural status of a patient. Self-awareness of personal biases is important to prevent compromising patient care. All phases of the nursing process are affected by the client's and the nurse's spiritual beliefs and practices. As the client and the nurse come together in the nurse-client relationship, a unique spiritual environment is created that can improve or impair the client's outcome.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 3

To obtain spiritual-assessment data, nurses should use broad statements and open-ended questions that encourage patients to fully express their beliefs. The nurse should not wait until the patient brings up the topic. The patient may not feel comfortable and may need encouragement to talk. The physician's history and physical may or may not contain a spiritual assessment. Direct interview questions can be answered with a yes or no.
