Self-transcendence refers to connecting to your inner self, which allows you to go beyond your-self to understand the meanings of experiences, whereas transcendence is the belief that there is a positive force outside of and greater than oneself that allows you to develop new perspectives that are beyond physical boundaries. Examples of transcendent moments include the feelings of awe when holding a new baby or watching the sun rise over the mountains. Spirituality offers a sense of connectedness intrapersonally (connected with oneself), interpersonally (connected with others and the environment), and transpersonally (connected with God, the unseen, or a higher power).

Since the client has an infectious disease, the most important nursing action is to perform thorough handwashing before leaving the client's room and before touching any other client, personnel, environmental surface, or client care item. Spraying a disinfectant before leaving the client's room or placing one bag of contaminated items in another is not the most important nursing action in this case. Regardless of which garments they wear, nurses follow an orderly sequence for removing them. Nurses remove the personal protective equipment that is most contaminated first to preserve the clean uniform underneath but this is less important than vigilant handwashing.
