Answer to Question 1

Ans: A
Religion refers to an organized system of beliefs about a higher power. A nurse should not interpret the fact that a client does not belong to an organized religion to mean the client has no spiritual needs; a person may be deeply spiritual yet not profess a religion.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: C
Certain practices associated with health care may have religious significance for a client. For example, acceptable birth-control measures are determined by some religious faiths.
