A nurse is caring for a client who has end-stage kidney disease. The client has decided to stop dialysis treatment. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?

Choice A reason: A chaplain offers spiritual support, but it’s not the nurse’s primary role. Autonomy in end-stage kidney disease takes precedence over initiating such visits.Choice B reason: Alternatives don’t apply post-decision in end-stage disease; dialysis cessation reflects prognosis acceptance. Discussing them now dismisses the client’s informed choice.Choice C reason: Supporting the decision respects autonomy in end-stage kidney disease. It aligns with palliative care, honoring the client’s right to refuse treatment.Choice D reason: Suggesting family discussion undermines autonomy, adding pressure. In terminal illness, the client’s choice to stop dialysis should be respected directly.
