1. There is a wide range of belief systems that acquire a significant part of many patients' lives. However, it's uncertain how medical professionals should address spiritual or religious issues, as they can come up a lot in the field of medicine. It's something that cannot be avoided as research has indicated how religious beliefs and spiritual practices of patients play a huge factor in coping with serious illnesses and in making ethical choices on treatments. 2.

As well as religious factors correlating with patients and surrogate decisions preferences, such as desire for aggressive treatment and wanting all measures to extend life. It's a very controversial topic as the assumption that medicine and spirituality should remain separate is largely unquestioned throughout medicine. As in other aspects of individuals lives it is known to be separate out of respect for others. Although in this case it's not only impacting the individual but the patients as well which enhance the argument on the need to incorporate awareness of spirituality, and culture beliefs and practices, into the care of patients in a variety of clinical contexts. - Or what role does religion and spirituality play truly in patient care, should it be able to interfere even if that means being at risk to lose a life? 3. The counterargument would include spirituality and medicine not going together. Acknowledging the spiritual needs of patients being able to be done and straightforward in a noncontroversial manner isn't quite possible for various reasons. 4.
