The nurse should first assess the client's value system and beliefs to identify any specific spiritual needs or resources. This will help the nurse provide appropriate support and resources that align with the client's beliefs and wishes. Suggesting a chaplain or reading Bible passages may not be helpful or appropriate for an atheist client, and explaining the importance of religion may be imposing the nurse's own beliefs on the client.
