Question 1 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who was recently diagnosed with a terminal illness. The client tells the nurse, 'I am looking forward to seeing my grandchildren grow up.' The nurse should identify that the client is experiencing which of the following stages of grief?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: Denial. The client's statement about looking forward to seeing their grandchildren grow up indicates a sense of denial about the terminal illness diagnosis. In the denial stage of grief, the individual may refuse to accept the reality of the situation and instead hold on to hope or wishful thinking. This can be a coping mechanism to protect oneself from the emotional pain of facing the inevitable.
Choices B, C, and D are incorrect because bargaining, acceptance, and anger typically come after denial in the stages of grief, respectively. Bargaining involves seeking ways to avoid or postpone the reality of the loss, acceptance involves coming to terms with the reality, and anger is a common emotion experienced as part of the grieving process.
