Description: The Joint Commission provides some guidelines for creating spiritual assessment tools for evaluating the spiritual needs of patients. Using these
resources and any other guidelines/examples you can find, make up your own tool for assessing the spiritual needs of patients. 1.The spiritualoneeds
assessment tool should include a minimum of five questions that can either be answered by the patient and/or by your observation of the patient. The
information can be presented in a Word document, in a table, or in questionnaire format. Using your assessmentotool questions, practice completing a
spiritual assessment with a patient, family member, or friend. Once complete, analyze your results in 750-1000 words, with the following: 1.Write a brief
summary of your assessment findings. 2.What significant discoveries did you make about the individual you chose to assess? 3.What went well? 4.What
would you do differently in the future? 5.Were there any barriers or challenges that inhibited your ability to complete the assessment tool? How would
you address these in the future or change your assessment to better address these challenges? 6.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?
