Answer to Question 1

D
The nurse can best deliver spiritual care by developing a greater awareness of her own spirituality. This allows the nurse to be a better listener and provide better care for the patient. The nurse should avoid assuming that a patient who shares the same religious affiliation has the same beliefs. Moreover, the nurse should avoid trying to meet the patient's spiritual needs independently. A team approach to spirituality provides more comprehensive care. Also, unless asked, the nurse should avoid explaining her own religious beliefs, which might offend the patient.

Answer to Question 2

C
The best way to teach a psychomotor skill is to demonstrate the procedure and then ask for a return demonstration. Supplementary written information or DVD can also be supplied to the patient to reinforce learning. However, they are not the best method for teaching a psychomotor skill; enacting the procedure is more effective.
