FICA stands for Faith and belief, Importance of faith, faith Community involvement, and Address spirituality in care.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A, C, D, E
Many activities fall into the realm of spiritual nursing care, including baptizing an infant in an emergency, notifying the chaplain or other religious leader of patient requests for service, and praying with the patient and family. The nurse always considers the patient's developmental level when planning or providing any type of care. The patient and/or family may or may not want privacy for prayer; the nurse should assess the situation and not just leave.
