For patients experiencing impaired religiosity, the nurse should communicate his or her own understanding of the importance of religious practices and consider the following interventions: provide an environment that assists the patient to fulfill religious obligations; provide privacy and quiet for religious practices; contact the patient's preferred religious leader; inform the patient of available resources that support religious practices; if comfortable, pray with the patient; and be available as a presence. Patient's wishes to practice their religion while in the hospital should be honored.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 1, 2, 4, 5

Enhanced Spiritual Well-Being is defined as experiencing affirmation of life in a relationship with a higher power (as defined by the person), self, community, and environment that nurtures and celebrates wholeness. It is characterized by having the resources to meet spiritual needs; a sense of inner peace; a sense of meaning and purpose in life; a commitment toward love, hope, meaning, and truth; a sense of a unifying and sacred source; and a sense of relationship with others, including family, friends, community, environment, and a Supreme Being. World unity is not included in the nursing diagnosis of enhanced spiritual well-being.
