Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Identifying factors in life that challenge spiritual beliefs is an appropriate outcome for addressing spiritual distress. It allows the client to gain insight into what may be causing the distress and work towards resolving those issues. Attending church services or committing to reading the Bible may not be appropriate or feasible for all clients, and sharing feelings about religion with health care providers may not directly address the client's spiritual distress.
