A nurse should be aware that adolescent clients who are discussing spirituality often:
1. Have a good concept of a supreme being
2. Question religious practices and/or values
3. Fully accept the higher meaning of their faith
4. Often give themselves over to spiritual tasks
ANS: 2
Adolescents often reconsider their childlike concept of a spiritual power, and in the search for an identity, they may either question practices and values or find the spiritual power as the motiva-tion to seek a clearer meaning to life. Adolescents do not necessarily have a good concept of a supreme being. Adolescents do not necessarily fully accept the higher meaning of their faith. Older adults, not adolescents, often turn to important relationships and the giving of themselves to others as spiritual tasks.
