Spiritual competency in healthcare means recognizing and integrating patients’ spiritual beliefs into care, while respecting those beliefs and addressing spiritual needs. Providing interventions that ignore patients’ spiritual beliefs is not consistent with this approach.

Spiritual competency also involves acknowledging one’s own biases and ensuring they don’t interfere with care, assisting clients to meet their spiritual needs (including connecting with pastoral or other spiritual support), and assessing how spirituality influences care decisions and overall care planning.

So the statement that describes ignoring patients’ spiritual beliefs does not fit with spiritual competency.
