A nurse is assessing the spiritual beliefs of a client. Which of the following client statements indicates spiritual distress?
Correct answer
B
Rationale
The correct answer is B because the client's daily meditation time being interrupted by therapy indicates spiritual distress. Meditation is often a key spiritual practice for individuals to find peace and connection. Therapy disrupting this routine may indicate a lack of spiritual fulfillment or distress. The other choices do not directly indicate spiritual distress as they mostly mention positive aspects of spiritual beliefs or practices. Choice A shows that faith provides hope, choice C indicates comfort from meditation, and choice D suggests increased support from a spiritual advisor, all of which are positive indicators of spiritual well-being.
