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: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Allow the client unlimited time for the grieving process. This is because receiving a terminal cancer diagnosis is a traumatic event that requires emotional support and time to process. By allowing the client unlimited time for the grieving process, the nurse is providing emotional support and acknowledging the client's need to come to terms with the diagnosis. Changing the subject (
A) may invalidate the client's emotions. Discouraging the client from forming new relationships (
C) is not appropriate as social support is important during such difficult times. Offering advice about treatment choices (
D) may not be suitable at this stage as the focus should be on emotional support rather than treatment decisions.
