Answer to Question 1

Answer: D

Within the FICA assessment model for spirituality, faith is assessed by asking the question What spiritual beliefs are important to you? Implication is assessed by asking the client, How is your faith affecting the way you cope? Community is assessed by asking, Is there is a community of like-minded believers with which you routinely meet? Address is assessed by asking the client, How can the healthcare team support your spiritual needs?

Answer to Question 2

Answer: B

The client had been exercising but has not because of additional work, which is causing stress. The nurse should encourage the client to resume daily exercise to reduce the impact of the stress on the body. The nurse should not reinforce the client's not exercising. Meditation might be beneficial, but because the client mentioned initially exercising and not meditating, this suggestion is not as appropriate in addressing the client's needs. The nurse should not suggest using alcohol to deal with stress.
