Answer to Question 1

ANS: A, C, D
Spirituality focuses on the meanings of life, death, and existence. Religion is an organized and structured method of practicing or expressing one's spirituality, so they are interconnected and not mutually exclusive. Religion provides the structure for expressing spirituality. Spirituality can be expressed through relationships with others.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Hospital chaplains are great resources for nurses experiencing burnout, moral distress, or spiritual distress. The nurse can take all options, but a consultation with the chaplain is the best place to start to see if the issue can be resolved. The chaplain has a wider range of perceptions and tools than do the other staff nurses.
