2 -- Faith, influence, community, and address form the acronym FICA. This can help the nurse move through the spiritual assessment process with a patient. ABC represents airway, breathing, and circulation, and is not related to assessing a dying patient’s spiritual beliefs about death. DABDA represents denial, anger, bargaining, despair, and acceptance and are Kübler-Ross’s stages of grieving. RACE represents the emergency evacuation procedure during a fire: remove, activate, confine, and extinguish, and are not related to this situation.
