A nurse is caring for a client who has lung cancer. The client tells the nurse they do not want to be resuscitated in the event of a cardiac arrest. Which of the following statements should the nurse make?

Choice A reason: Explaining pros and cons informs but may pressure the client. Supporting autonomy respects their choice, aligning with lung cancer end-of-life preferences better.Choice B reason: Supporting the client’s DNR decision upholds autonomy and aids communication. In lung cancer, respecting end-of-life wishes is critical, making this the best response.Choice C reason: Involving a social worker delegates support, not directly honoring the client’s wish. Nurses should first affirm autonomy in such terminal cancer scenarios.Choice D reason: Suggesting family discussion undermines autonomy, adding burden. The client’s decision in advanced cancer should be respected without implying external validation needs.
