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.

The dogs detected 54 of the 55 lung cancer patients as having cancer, detected 28 of the 31 breast cancer patients, and gave only three false-positive results (detecting cancer in people who didn't have it).
