Answer to Question 1

Answer: D

While taking care of the IV, the nurse who listens to the client and offers to pray with the client is demonstrating transcendent presence. The nurse is physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually present for the client. The other answers demonstrate presence, partial presence, or full presence, but not transcendent presence.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: D

The statement but why is God doing this to me? is reflective of spiritual distress. The client is not demonstrating being able to find a purpose and is also demonstrating a disconnect between herself and her higher spirit. The other answers do not indicate spiritual distress of the client.
