Part I: Interview
Select a patient a family member or a friend to interview. Be sure to focus on the interviewee’s experience as a patient regardless of whom you choose to interview.

Create a survey to assess the subject’s spiritual need during the interview. The spiritual needs assessment survey needs a minimum of five questions that can be answered during the interview. During the interview document the interviewee’s responses.

How would you address these in the future or change your assessment to better address these challenges? Describe the spiritual experience you had with your patient family member or friend using this tool. How does this tool allow you to better meet the needs of your patient?
