A resident appears sad and says, 'I feel cut off from my faith community.' What is a supportive action?
- A.Listen to the concern and let the nurse or social worker know so visits, calls, or clergy contact can be arranged
- B.Tell the resident faith is a private matter staff cannot discuss
- C.Offer to lead the resident in your own faith's practices instead
- D.Change the subject to the activity schedule right away
Correct answer
A. Listen to the concern and let the nurse or social worker know so visits, calls, or clergy contact can be arranged
Why
Spiritual distress deserves listening and referral so the resident's own faith supports can be reconnected. Substituting your own practices or refusing to discuss it leaves the need unmet.
