Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Patients who have been given bad news are at high risk for experiencing spiritual distress. Of the options provided, only metastatic cancer is considered an incurable disease.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
Spiritual assessment and interventions are appropriate for agnostic patients, because all people have spirituality, even if they do not profess religious beliefs. Agnostic patients possess spirituality. Agnostics may experience spiritual distress. Agnostics do not practice the rituals of any religion.
