Which is the most direct benefit for nurses who develop a spiritual connection with God or another higher power?
A) A commitment to lifestyle improvements and self-care practices
B) An understanding that helps to service the spiritual needs of their patients
C) An allocation of time and energy to building strong relationships with family and friends
D) Early identification of signs, symptoms, and corrective actions needed to promote optimal health
B
Feedback:
Although each of the choices has a spiritual dimension, nurses who develop such a connection are aided most directly by their greater appreciation of the spiritual needs of their patients. A spiritual connection does not necessarily mean that the nurse will improve lifestyle and self-care practices, spend more time on building relationships, or identify health problems.
