A nurse is planning care for a client who has terminal cancer and is nearing the end of life. Which of the following interventions should the nurse include?

A. Remind the client to eat scheduled meals daily: At the end of life, appetite often decreases, and forcing scheduled meals can cause discomfort.

Providing warmth helps maintain comfort and dignity. C. Speak in a loud tone when addressing the client: Speaking loudly can be perceived as disrespectful or frightening, especially if the client is confused or hearing impaired. A calm, gentle tone is more supportive. D. Place the client in a supine position: The supine position may increase discomfort or breathing difficulties in some terminal clients; positioning should focus on comfort and ease of breathing, often semi-Fowler’s or side-lying
