Question 1 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who has just received a terminal cancer diagnosis from his provider. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: Allow the client unlimited time for the grieving process. This option is appropriate because receiving a terminal cancer diagnosis is a significant emotional event that requires time for processing and grieving. The nurse should provide emotional support and create a safe space for the client to express their feelings without rushing them. This approach promotes therapeutic communication and helps the client cope with the diagnosis.
Option A (Offer the client advice about various treatment choices) is incorrect because the client has received a terminal diagnosis, so treatment choices may not be applicable. Option B (Discourage the client from forming new relationships) is incorrect as forming relationships can be a source of support and comfort for the client. Option D (Change the subject when the client becomes upset) is incorrect because it dismisses the client's emotions and does not address their needs effectively.
