    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?

    Explanation & Rationale

    A. Offering information about respite care is a helpful and practical response. Respite care provides temporary relief for caregivers, allowing them to rest and recharge. B. While it's important to acknowledge the son's efforts, this statement doesn't address the need for rest or offer solutions. C. Suggesting sleeping pills without further assessment is not appropriate and may not address the root cause of the son's sleep deprivation. D. While caring for a terminally ill person is challenging, this statement does not offer the support or solution the son needs.
