Answer to Question 1

Ans: C
Feedback:
Studies have found that religious people are physically healthier, lead healthier lifestyles, and require fewer health services than those who are not religious (Koenig, 2009). Most have shown that religious people experience better psychological functioning and adapt more successfully to stress.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: B
Feedback:
Nurses and other health care providers must develop an awareness of the influence of their values on their identity and professional life. When working with clients, nurses and other health care providers must become aware of their own personal values, their clients' values, and the differences between them. Self-awareness allows health care providers to act from their own spiritual or cultural perspectives while taking care not to impose these values on others. It is likely that this nurse is projecting his or her own prioritization of religious community and close social and family support. The nurse should first assess the client's views on these matters.
