Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
The five pillars of Islam are: believe in one God, pray five times a day facing Mecca, giving alms to the less fortunate, fasting during Ramadan, and making a pilgrimage to Mecca. The nurse is best able to help the patient maintain the practice of praying five times a day while hospitalized.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Spirituality affects behavior, which has a direct impact on health. Spirituality is a universal concept, but all people may not recognize it in themselves. Holistic knowledge is indeed based in part on spirituality, but that does not give the student information on a concrete link. Less spiritual people may or may not have worse outcomes.
