Answer to Question 1

C
Defining characteristics for the nursing diagnosis of spiritual distress are present. They include concern with the meaning of life, anger toward God, questioning the meaning of suffering, conflict about beliefs, and questions about the morality of the therapeutic regimen. Spiritual distress is more applicable to the patient's comments than the other diagnoses.

Answer to Question 2

B
The technique of encouraging evaluation is useful to the nurse who is attempting to interpret meaning and importance. It seeks the patient's view of the situation and provides a basis for setting priorities. The other options are not concerned with priority.
