Question 1

As a part of care planning, the nurse considers the client’s spiritual needs. What is the rationale for this concern?

2. Meeting the client’s spiritual needs can decrease suffering.
3. Until spiritual needs are met, physical needs cannot be healed.
4. It is important that the nurse’s idea of spirituality matches the client’s ideas.

Correct Answer: 2

Rationale 1: Nurses do provide holistic care, but so do many other health care professionals.

Rationale 2: The nurse is concerned about the client’s spiritual health because meeting spiritual needs can decrease suffering.

Rationale 3: Physical needs can be addressed and healed without considering the spiritual side, but in order to provide holistic care both should be addressed.

Question 4

Type: MCMA

 

A client who is facing a final surgery to save his life asks the nurse to stay and pray with him until the surgery begins. In which ways should the nurse demonstrate presencing with this client?

 

Standard Text: Select all that apply.

 

1. Adjusting the intravenous infusion
2. Talking with the client about the surgery
3. Sitting next to the client in the holding area
4. Praying with the client for divine intervention
5. Focusing on the client and fulfilling his needs

 

Correct Answer: 4, 5

 

Rationale 1: Adjusting the intravenous infusion demonstrates partial presence by being present; however, there is more to presencing than just attending to a task.

 

Rationale 2: Talking with the client about the surgery does not demonstrating presencing because this does not fulfill the client’s request for the nurse to stay and pray.

 

Rationale 3: Sitting next to the client in the holding area may demonstrate physical presence; however, the nurse is not fulfilling the client’s request.

 

Rationale 4: Praying with the client for divine intervention demonstrates transcendent presence because the nurse is spiritually present for the client.

 

Rationale 5: Focusing on the client and fulfilling his needs demonstrates full presence.
