A nurse is planning for the discharge of a client who has advanced lung cancer. The client's partner tells the nurse that they plan to manage the client's care at home but has concerns about leaving the client alone to attend to personal errands. Which of the following services should the nurse suggest?

Rationale: A. This option is incorrect because an assisted living facility provides long-term housing with support for activities of daily living, but it is not designed to offer short-term relief for a caregiver managing a terminally ill client at home. B. This option is incorrect because social services can provide guidance on resources and financial assistance, but they do not provide direct, temporary care for the client while the primary caregiver attends to personal needs. C. This option is incorrect because a spiritual support person can provide emotional and spiritual guidance but does not offer physical care or supervision for the client. D. This option is correct because respite care provides temporary relief for primary caregivers by offering short-term, supervised care for the client. This allows the caregiver to attend personal errands, rest, or manage other responsibilities while ensuring the client continues to receive safe, quality care at home. Respite care is especially important for caregivers managing clients with advanced illnesses.
