Answer to Question 1

Ans: C
Spirituality, which goes beyond religion and religious affiliation, is a personal quality that strives for inspiration, reverence, awe, meaning, and purpose in life. Religion is an organized system of beliefs and practices that focus on a higher power that governs the universe.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: B
In this situation, the nurse is functioning within the culture care accommodation/negotiation nursing care mode. The nurse adapts nursing care to accommodate the client's beliefs or negotiate aspects of care that would require the client to change certain practices. If rituals and other spiritually focused activities are important to the client, clinicians must respect and work with, not against, this philosophy.
