Using a spiritual assessment tool helps the nurse gain more understanding of the patient. What would be the best question to assess a patient's inner strengths?
a. What gives your life meaning?
b. Are you motivated to get well?
c. What do you do to show love for your-self?
d. What brings you joy and peace in your life?
D
Asking what brings joy and peace to a person's life is an example of a reflective question to help increase the awareness of the inner strengths of a patient's spiritual process. Such a question as-sesses a person's ability to manifest joy. Asking about what gives meaning could address family and career and not necessarily a patient's inner strength. Asking about motivation and what a person does to show love for themself does not encourage reflection on inner strengths but asks a question that could be briefly answered.
