4. "Would you like me to contact your clergy member or religious leader?"
5. "In what ways has your illness affected your view of yourself or of others or your faith?"
Answer: 1, 3, 4
Explanation: The initial assessment of a patient's spirituality usually begins on admission and involves basic questions about a patient's spiritual or religious practices and what, if any, assistance the patient needs in following them. This primarily involves closed questions, such as: "Do you have a religious preference?"; "Are there any spiritual or religious practices that are important to you?"; "Would you like me to contact your clergy member or religious leader?" The other questions are open-ended questions and would not be asked by the nurse during the initial assessment of the patient's spirituality. The nurse will ask these open-ended questions the nurse-patient therapeutic relationship has been established, after the initial assessment.
