Question

“When I started as an ICU nurse,my focus was on technology aspect but as days go by,I came to realize that I am taking a person and not equipment.I am Catholic but not exercising my faith.One time a minister came and prayed all patients and everybody else in the unit.I felt relieved thag day and all people in the unit were less anxious.I have been busy on things but forgot what matters most.Most of the patients in the ICU are in distress and no one among the nurses talked to them about their spirituality.There is no need to impose my faith to them or on essential funcyion of a nurse is to look into this spirituality.There is no need to impose my faith to them or on what I believed to the family or to the patient.Death is common in our unit and most of the time I cannot find the right words to console them but I think just being seated with them is part of caring.There are many clients and families in the hospital and in the community who are probably suffering of spiritual distress.In developing a care of plan for those who are in spiritual distress what will be the interventions and rationale on this case?
