Abstract
In an age that features technologically sophisticated medical interventions, patients still desire spiritually nurturing health care. Attention to patients' spiritual needs and resources in the clinical setting may raise a number of ethical questions. Five ethical guidelines are offered as illustrations of norms that respect patients' preferences and preserve health care professionals' integrity.
