Question

A recently graduated nurse is talking to the charge nurse about spirituality and tells the charge nurse that it is difficult to understand why people have a hard time giving spiritual care to clients. The charge nurse identifies the new nurse's lack of understanding when the new nurse makes which statement?

-"Spirituality and religion are the same thing."
-"Spirituality and religion have distinctions."
-"Spirituality is anything that pertains to a person's relationship with a higher power."
-"Spirituality and faith are the same thing."

Answer 1

The answer is -"Spirituality and religion are the same thing."

Step-by-step explanation:

By saying this the new nurse shows that she is mixing the concepts or religion and spirituality. Religion usually entails adhering to a certain dogma or belief system. Spirituality places little importance on intellectual beliefs but is concerned with growing into and experiencing the Divine consciousness.
