A nurse is assessing a client who has come to the health care facility for treatment. During the assessment, the client states, "I don't know if there is a God or Heaven." The nurse interprets this statement to be a reflection of:
A) Agnosticism
B) Atheism
C) Maoism
D) Scientism
Ans: A
Agnosticism refers to the belief that whether there is a God and a spiritual world or any ultimate reality is unknown and probably unknowable. Atheism is the belief that no God exists as "God" is defined in any current existing culture of society. Maoism reflects a faith that is centered in the leadership of the Communist Party and all the people; the major belief goal is to move away from individual personal desires and ambitions toward viewing and serving all people as a whole. Scientism is the belief that values and guidance for living come from scientific knowledge, principles, and practices; systematic study and analysis of life, rather than superstition, lead to true understanding and practice of life.
