Question 1 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who has a new diagnosis of terminal cancer. Which of the following interventions is the priority?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Discuss the client's prior coping mechanisms. This is the priority because understanding how the client has coped in the past will help the nurse tailor interventions to provide effective support. By discussing prior coping mechanisms, the nurse can identify strategies that have worked well for the client and build upon them. This can enhance the client's sense of control and emotional well-being during this challenging time.
Choice A (Help the client to find a local support group) may be beneficial, but understanding the client's coping mechanisms should come first.
Choice C (Develop a list of goals with the client) may not be appropriate at this time as the client is dealing with a terminal diagnosis.
Choice D (Teach the client to use progressive relaxation techniques) may be helpful later but is not the priority at this stage.
