B
According to Taylor in Spiritual Care: Nursing Theory, Research, and Practice (2002), asking the following assessment question helps determine the patient's spirit-enhancing practices or rituals: "How has being sick affected your spiritual practices?" As a testing strategy, note that the answer has the spiritual practices and so does the question. Other questions would assess sources of hope and strength, involvement in the spiritual community, and their experience of God or transcendence.
