Question 1 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who is terminally ill and exhibiting signs of impending death. The client's medical record states that the client is a practicing Roman Catholic. Which of the following nursing actions is appropriate?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: Offer to make arrangements for the Sacrament of the Sick. This is appropriate because the client is a practicing Roman Catholic, and the Sacrament of the Sick is a sacrament in the Catholic faith administered to the sick or dying. Offering to arrange for this sacrament shows respect for the client's religious beliefs and provides spiritual comfort.
Choice B is incorrect because staying with the client's body after death is not necessarily a religious practice and may not align with the client's beliefs.
Choice C is incorrect as it assumes the client's faith requires a specific individual to bathe the body, which may not be the case for all Roman Catholics.
Choice D is incorrect as it is not relevant to the client's religious needs and may hinder communication during this sensitive time.
