ANS: A, B, D
Native Americans often use shamans; prayers, songs, and dances; storytelling; and herbs in health care. The HOPE framework assesses sources of hope, meaning comfort, strength, peace, love, and connection; organized religion; personal spirituality and practice; and effects on medical care and end of life issues. The nurse who knows about both topics will assess this patient for the desire for a shaman to be present, the personal use of herbs and prayers, and storytelling. A living will is more accurately assessed with the SPIRIT framework. Involvement in church activities can be best assessed using either the SPIRIT or FICA framework.
