Question 1 of 5

The home health nurse visits a young adult client who has AIDS with Kaposi's sarcoma and peripheral neuropathies. The client's parents, who are the caretakers, tell the nurse that their child sleeps most of the time. The nurse assesses that the client is semi-conscious with stable vital signs, cries out in pain when turned or moved, has a fentanyl patch in place, and skin lesions that are closed and dried. Which intervention should the nurse implement?

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: Discussing end-of-life decisions with the client's parents is the most appropriate intervention. The client is semi-conscious, sleeps most of the time, and is in significant pain. These symptoms suggest that the client's condition is deteriorating. It is important to have conversations about end-of-life care preferences and decisions to ensure that the client's wishes are respected and that the parents are prepared.
