Isabella Broughan · Accepted Answer

Final Answer : C, Explanation :  When performing a spiritual assessment, the patient is the preferred source of information as it is their own spirituality and belief system that is being evaluated. However, the patient's clergyman can also provide valuable insight into the patient's spiritual beliefs and practices. The durable power of attorney and next of kin may have knowledge of the patient's beliefs, but it is important to prioritize the patient's own perspective.
