a. Health ministry
b. Faith community nursing
c. Faith community
d. Holistic care center

 

 

ANS:   C

Congregational communities that gather in churches, cathedrals, synagogues, or mosques and acknowledge common faith traditions are faith communities. A health ministry is a visible activity, program, or ritual of faith organized around the health and healing of the congregation’s membership and offered by the faith community nurse, clergy, layperson, or community resource. Faith community nursing is a recognized nursing specialty practice focusing on working with individuals, families, and faith communities to coordinate programs and services that significantly affect health, healing, and wholeness. Holistic care relates to the relationship between the body, mind, and spirit in a constantly changing environment and involves caring for the soul in a special kind of engagement. Holistic care goes beyond assessing only the physical aspects of the patient; rather, it is the care of the entire patient.
