A client who has end-stage heart failure
Question 1 of 5
A nurse is preparing to discharge a client who has end-stage heart failure. The client's partner tells the nurse she can no longer handle caring for the client. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale:
Correct Answer: C. Contact a case manager to discuss hospice options.
Rationale: In end-stage heart failure, the client's partner expressing inability to care indicates a need for additional support. Contacting a case manager for hospice options can provide appropriate care while addressing the partner's concerns. Hospice care offers specialized support for end-of-life care, including symptom management and emotional support for both the client and their loved ones.
Incorrect
Choices:
A: Asking the provider to delay discharge does not address the partner's inability to provide care.
B: Seeking out another family member may not be feasible or address the partner's emotional distress.
D: Advising placement in a long-term care facility may not be aligned with the client's end-of-life wishes and may not address the partner's emotional needs.
