A hospice nurse is visiting with the son of a client who has terminal cancer. The son reports sleeping very little during the past week due to caring for his mother. Which of the following responses should the nurse make?

A. While medication may be helpful for sleep disturbances, offering sleep aids should not be the first response. Respite care is a more appropriate solution. B. Although caring for someone who is terminally ill can be challenging, this response lacks empathy and does not offer practical support. C. Respite care provides relief for caregivers by allowing them to take time off, which is appropriate for this situation. D. While encouraging the son’s efforts is important, this response doesn't address the son's need for support or practical help with his own well-being.
