What should be the nurse's primary intervention for a client experiencing spiritual distress?

A) Establish a trusting nurse-client relationship
B) Have the client describe the basic problem
C) Ask the client what religion is practiced in the home
D) Identify the client's belief in a supreme being

Establishing a trusting nurse-client relationship is the primary intervention for a client experiencing spiritual distress. This allows the client to feel comfortable discussing their spiritual beliefs and concerns with the nurse. From there, the nurse can address the client's specific needs and provide appropriate resources and support. While understanding the client's specific religion and beliefs may be helpful, it is not the primary intervention for addressing spiritual distress.
