Carson and Koenig's (2008) spiritual assessment involves five broad questions focusing around
whether the medical care conflicts with any of the patient's spiritual beliefs, whether the patient is
experiencing comfort or stress related to spiritual beliefs, whether there is involvement or support from
any religious community, how the patient's spiritual beliefs impact health care decision-making
practices, and if there is a need for additional referrals. The nurse's spiritual beliefs are not an aspect of
the patient assessment.
