Spirituality in aging: spiritual need or spiritual journey?
1. The current approach to spiritual assessment often makes the older client uncomfortable discussing his or her spiritual and religious orientation. 2. To provide therapeutic interventions, nurses must first become aware of themselves and their clients as spiritual beings. 3. A spiritual journey perspective views the nurse as one who can enhance the unique journey and growth of the individual client.
