Question 1 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who has a terminal illness. The client states, 'I am not giving up. I want as much treatment as possible.' Which of the following responses should the nurse make?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct response is D: "I will contact your provider to discuss your options." This answer is correct because it demonstrates the nurse's commitment to advocating for the client's wishes and involving the healthcare provider in the decision-making process. By contacting the provider, the nurse can ensure that the client's treatment preferences are communicated effectively and that appropriate care options are considered.
Choice A is incorrect because it dismisses the client's desire for treatment.
Choice B is incorrect because it is not the nurse's role to impose a prognosis on the client.
Choice C is incorrect because it assumes that hospice care is the only appropriate option without considering the client's wishes.
In summary, option D is the best response as it respects the client's autonomy and ensures that their preferences are communicated effectively to the healthcare team.
