A nurse is assisting with the care of a school-age child who is terminally ill. Which of the following interventions should the nurse perform?

A. Encouraging the family to involve siblings in the care of the terminally ill child is important for fostering family support, allowing siblings to understand the situation, and promoting emotional bonding. B. Avoiding discussions about death is not recommended. It is important to communicate with the child about death in an age-appropriate manner to help them understand and cope with the situation. C. While monitoring vital signs is important, it is not the most therapeutic intervention in the final stages of terminal illness. Comfort care, including pain management and emotional support, takes priority. D. Passive range of motion is not essential for a child in the final stages of terminal illness unless necessary for specific comfort or mobility needs. Care should focus on comfort measures rather than routine interventions.
