Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 4

The 'R' represents ritualized practices and restrictions. Using this model the nurse would assess for specific rituals or practices related to the patient's daily life. The other options are not part of the SPIRIT model.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 2

The Salat is a daily ritual of saying five prayers a day; at dawn, noon, mid-afternoon, sunset, and evening while facing Mecca. A devout Muslim would pray at each interval during the day, he or she would not say the prayer only one time each day.
