Answer to Question 1

Ans: B
Feedback:
Open-ended questions that allow clients to tell nurses about how they view relationships and the meaning of their illness or what kinds of coping have helped them in the past can yield information about spiritual concerns and practices that may help nurses with plans of care. Open-ended questions should always precede advice.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: A
Feedback:
Acknowledging the spiritual lives of clients may involve asking about that aspect of their lives when taking a history. Some practitioners suggest four simple questions that might be asked of seriously ill clients: (1) Is faith (religion, spirituality) important to you in this illness? (2) Has faith been important to you at other times in your life? (3) Do you have someone to talk to about religious matters? (4) Would you like to explore religious matters with someone? Of the listed options, the question, How is religion or spirituality important to you in this illness? is most open-ended and most likely to elicit meaningful insights.
