Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 2

Faith, influence, community, and address form the acronym FICA. These topics can help the nurse move through the spiritual assessment process with a patient. ABC represents airway, breathing, and circulation, and is not related to assessing a dying patient's spiritual beliefs about death. DABDA represents denial, anger, bargaining, despair, and acceptance and are Kbler-Ross's stages of grieving. RACE represents the emergency evacuation procedure during a fire: remove, activate, confine, and extinguish. This acronym is not related to this situation.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 3

Regional differences in the way death is expressed in the United States include passed away, went to be with God, and passed from this life. This statement does not reflect coping, denial, or a cultural rite.
