Mrs. Miller asks Lucy if she would say a prayer for her. What principle of caring should Lucy base her response on? (Case #1)

A. Spiritual care is an essential component of holistic nursing practice. Nurses can offer spiritual support, regardless of their own personal beliefs, to meet the emotional and spiritual needs of the patient. B. A nurse's different religious beliefs do not prevent them from providing spiritual support; it is about respect and compassion for the patient's needs. C. While the chaplain may be a resource for spiritual care, nurses can also support a patient's spiritual needs, especially when requested directly by the patient. D. There is no need for a physician's order to address spiritual care or offer a prayer, as it is part of holistic nursing care and patient-centered support.
