A client with a prescription for "do not resuscitate" (DNR) begins to manifest signs of impending death. After notifying the family of the client's status, which priority action should the nurse implement?

A. Ensuring comfort during the dying process is paramount in end-of-life care. Assessing and managing pain promptly supports quality of life and dignity in the client's final moments. B. The nurse manager should be updated on the client's status. While communication with the nurse manager is important, it is not the immediate priority when a client is experiencing discomfort or pain. C. The client's status should be conveyed to the chaplain. Involving spiritual care is important but secondary to addressing any immediate physical comfort needs of the client. D. The impending signs of death should be documented. Documentation is important, but it is a secondary priority to the direct care and comfort needs of the client.
