Answer to Question 1

D
Spiritual wellness reflects a person's relationships with self, others, nature, and a higher power. Spirituality involves finding meaning in everything and is a major force in healing. Spiritual needs include love, forgiveness, and hope. Nurses do not function as spiritual counselors to clients but, using a holistic approach, extend love, compassion, and empathy to them. Nurses can also encourage clients to address their own spiritual needs.

Answer to Question 2

C
Surgical asepsis is the use of sterile technique to eliminate all microorganisms and spores from an object or area and includes surgical hand washing, establishing and maintaining sterile fields, donning surgical garb, and applying sterile gloves. Surgical aseptic technique is used in operating rooms, in labor and delivery, and in preparation and use of a sterile field and equipment for bedside procedures such as inserting a urinary catheter or changing a sterile dressing.
