Question 1 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who has a terminal illness and is approaching death. The client is short of breath and has noisy respirations from secretions in their airway. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Administer an anti-cholinergic medication. This is because anti-cholinergic medications can help reduce secretions in the airway, thus improving the client's breathing and reducing the noisy respirations. Turning the client every 2 hours (choice
A) may provide comfort but does not address the immediate issue of airway secretions. Holding oral care (choice
C) is important for overall comfort but does not directly address the client's breathing difficulty. Increasing the room's temperature (choice
D) is unlikely to improve the client's respiratory distress and may even make it worse.
