The client requesting and attending religious services in the hospital chapel is also evidence that the client's religious needs were met while hospitalized. The client who asked for additional supplies to change dressings at home exhibits no evidence of religious needs being met. The client who asks the nurse whom to call if she has any problems at home is not exhibiting evidence of religious needs being met. The client who tells the nurse that she will not need home care is not exhibiting evidence that religious needs have been met.
