Readiness for enhanced spiritual well-being is based on defining characteristics that show a per-son's ability to experience and integrate meaning and purpose in life through connectedness with self and others. A client with this nursing diagnosis has potential resources to draw on when faced with illness or a threat to well-being. By asking the client to identify his or her coping strategy for times of stress, the nurse can begin to assess the client's spiritual well-being. The re-maining options are more directed towards assessing faith, or life satisfaction.
