1. Explain the Christian perspective of the nature of spirituality and ethics in contrast
to the perspective of postmodern relativism within health care
The Christian worldview states that God exists as the father, the son, and the holy spirit. Go
is a supernatural that exists in different forms that human beings cannot apprehend. The

healing process either directly and indirectly; hence providence of medical services based on
patient religion, they are more comfortable to cooperate with the providers, and it also
accelerates healing.

right. Postmodern relativism states that humans do not live more special lives than that of other
living or non-living organisms (Shelly & Miller, 2009). The failure to consider murder wrong
