First the nurse needs to provide "presencing". Which is defined as being present, being there, or just being with a client. Examples: Giving of self in the present moment. Being available with all of the self. Listening, with full awareness of the privilege of doing so. Being there in a way that is meaningful to another person.
Planning to help the client achieve the overall goal of maintaining or restoring spiritual well being so that spiritual strength, serenity, and satisfaction are realized.
Some examples: Help the client fulfill religious obligations. Help the client draw on and use inner resources more effectively to meet the present situation. Help the client maintain or establish a dynamic, personal relationship with a supreme being in the face of unpleasent circumstances. Help the client find meaning in existence and the present situation. Promote a sense of hope. Provide spiritual resources otherwise unavailable.
