A severely depressed patient cannot state any positive attributes to life. The nurse patiently sits with this patient and assists the patient to identify several activities the patient is actually looking forward to in life. Which spiritual concept is the nurse trying to promote?

A) Time management
B) Reminiscence
C) Hope
D) Faith

Hope gives a person the ability to see life as enduring or having meaning or purpose. The nurse's actions do not address time management, reminiscence, or faith. Time management is organizing and prioritizing activities to be completed in a timely manner. Reminiscence is the relationship by mentally or verbally anecdotally relieving and remembering the person and past experiences. Faith is belief in a higher power.
