A nurse is caring for a client who has an end-stage lung disease. The client requests not to be resuscitated if their condition worsens. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?

A. Place a sign with “Do Not Resuscitate" outside the client's room: DNR status is confidential and should be documented in the medical record, not posted publicly. B. Obtain consent from the family for the change to the plan of care: Only the client can make decisions regarding resuscitation status, not the family. C. Discharge the client to hospice care: Requesting DNR status does not automatically require hospice admission. D. Explain to the client they can change their mind at any time: The nurse should ensure the client understands that DNR orders can be revoked or changed at any time if the client wishes. This supports autonomy and informed decision-making.
