A co-worker asks the nurse to explain spirituality. What is the nurse’s best response? a.It has a minor effect on health. b.It is awareness of one’s inner self. c.It is not as essential as physical needs. d.It refers to fire or giving of life to a person. ANS: B Spirituality is often defined as an awareness of one’s inner self and a sense of connection to a higher being, to nature, or to some purpose greater than oneself. Spirituality is an important factor that helps individuals achieve the balance needed to maintain health and well-being and to cope with illness. Florence Nightingale believed that spirituality was a force that provided energy needed to promote a healthy hospital environment and that caring for a person’s spiritual needs was just as essential as caring for his or her physical needs. The word spirituality comes from the Latin word spiritus, which refers to breath or wind. The spirit gives life to a person.
