Question 1 of 5
A nurse is assessing a patient who is in the active stage of dying. What are the signs and symptoms of impending death? (Select all that apply)
Correct Answer: A,C
Rationale: The correct answers are A and C. Mottling of the skin in the lower extremities indicates poor perfusion and impending death. Cheyne-Stokes breathing, a pattern of breathing characterized by alternating periods of deep, rapid breathing followed by periods of apnea, is commonly seen in the active stage of dying. Increased blood pressure and warm, dry, and pink skin are not typical signs of impending death. Regular respiration may not be present as Cheyne-Stokes breathing is more common.
