Let us proceed with the next assessment procedure, in continuation of the report of Ms.
Mugot.
Ask transition question from organizational to personal beliefs and ask client to specify
differences or similarities in own beliefs and the beliefs of the faith or denomination with
which affiliated.
In validating and documenting findings, the nurse should validate the subjective and
objective data collected during assessment. Noticeably, the subjective data will be the
primary source of information during a spiritual assessment, but the objective data can
validate or call into question information presented to the nurse. Moreover, both normal
and abnormal findings should be documented by the nurse.
A client’s spirituality often affects his or her health. There are numerous capacities in
which this occurs and frequently will go unnoticed without assessment. After collecting
subjective and objective data pertaining to the client’s spiritual assessment, identify
abnormal findings and client strengths using diagnostic reasoning. Then, cluster the data
to reveal any significant patterns or abnormalities.
I will be discussing possible conclusions that the nurse may make after assessing a
client’s spirituality.
Let us first proceed with the SELECTED NURSING DIAGNOSES. Later on, I will be
mentioning selected nursing diagnoses that may be identified when analyzing data from a
spiritual assessment.
SELECTED NURSING DIAGNOSES includes three major classification. First is the
Health Promotion Diagnoses, second is the Risk Diagnoses, and third is the Actual
Diagnoses.
For the Health Promotion Diagnoses, possible nursing diagnosis for the client can be:
A pattern of expectations and desires for mobilizing energy on one’s own behalf,
which can be strengthened.
For the Risk Diagnoses, possible nursing diagnosis for the client can be:
Risk for spiritual distress
Hopelessness
Moral distress
Response to the inability to carry out one's chosen ethical or moral decision
and/or action.
