    A nurse is assessing the spiritual beliefs of a client. Which of the following client statements indicates spiritual distress?

    Explanation & Rationale

    A. While this statement indicates a potential scheduling conflict, it does not directly suggest spiritual distress. The client is simply reporting a situation where their spiritual practice is being interrupted. B. This statement reflects spiritual strength and resilience. The client expresses that their faith is a source of comfort and hope, which is not an indicator of spiritual distress. C. This statement indicates that the client uses meditation as a coping mechanism, which suggests a healthy spiritual practice and not spiritual distress. D. This statement suggests that the client may be experiencing spiritual distress, as the increased visits from the spiritual advisor could indicate a need for additional spiritual support during a difficult time.
