Question 1 of 5

A. Administering an antiemetic to a client who has post chemotherapy nausea B. Administering a narcotic analgesic to a client who has end stage cancer C. Administering oral care for a client who has post chemotherapy mucositis D. Administering chemotherapy to a client who has metastatic cancer

Correct Answer: D

Rationale:
Choice D is correct because administering chemotherapy to a client with metastatic cancer is medically futile if it has no reasonable chance of eradicating the cancer or prolonging survival, potentially causing harm.

Choices A, B, and C are supportive or palliative measures that improve comfort, not futile treatments.

A. A nurse protects a client's personal health information. B. A nurse keeps a promise to return to a client's room. C. A nurse accepts responsibility for their own actions. D. A nurse communicates a client's wishes to their provider.

Correct Answer: D

Rationale:
Choice D is correct because communicating a client’s wishes to their provider exemplifies advocacy by ensuring the client’s needs and preferences are respected in decision-making.

Choices A, B, and C are ethical or professional duties, not specific to advocacy.
