Answer to Question 1

C
Spiritual care helps people identify meaning and purpose in life, look beyond the present, and maintain personal relationships, as well as a relationship with a higher being or life force. The patient may need psychiatric care and may be transferred to the psychiatric unit, but referral to pastoral care will not provide that. Return to a religious affiliation may follow a return to spiritual health.

Answer to Question 2

B
According to the 2006 Census, approximately 19.8 (one in five) of Canada's total population that year was born outside of the country, the highest level in 75 years.
According to the 2006 Census, 16.2 represents the number of visible minorities that accounted for Canada's total population that year.
According to the 2006 Census, 15.5 of the population's visible minorities in that year were Black.
