Final Answer :
A
Explanation :
The spiritual well-being scale (SWB) has 20 questions that assess a patient's relationship with God and his or her sense of life purpose and life satisfaction. The FICA assessment tool evaluates spirituality and is closely correlated to quality of life. This does not describe belief or hope.
