Answer to Question 1

C
Sputum smears, cultures and PPD skin test are still done. However, QFT-G offers a quick and reliable diagnosis for the patient and health care provider. The results of QFT-G are greater specificity and results are available 24 hours after the blood is collected.

Answer to Question 2

A
Feedback:
All humans have spiritual needs regardless of whether they realize or acknowledge them. Some of these needs become relevant in late life when the high prevalence of chronic illness and the reality of death are evident. While a hospital does provide a high-stress environment, this is not mutually exclusive with identifying and providing for patients' spiritual needs.
