Faith community nurses should avoid giving sermons or preaching religion to clients. Listening without any intervention is not possible, because listening in and of itself can be therapeutic. Clients retain their autonomy so nurses can give information but cannot suggest to clients what their decision should be. Appropriate emotional interventions include working with feelings, showing love, and using appropriate touch and empathy. Calling a patient by name is part of showing caring during the interaction. Intuition includes allowing time for prayer and sacrament and supports and encourages religious activities.
