An holistic approach includes attention to mind, body, and spirituality. Awareness of one's own spirituality is recognized as a central aspect of the nurse's work. Self-assessment in the spiritual dimension may require something as simple as being still and listening to one's inner voice. Providing advice referring to other caregivers, and giving financial alternatives are not aspects of the holistic approach.
