An adult client was diagnosed with stage IV lung cancer three weeks ago. The client's spouse approaches the nurse and asks how to know that the spouse's death is imminent because their two adult children want to be there when the client dies. Which is the best response by the nurse?

A. Explaining the physiological signs of imminent death helps prepare the spouse and family for what to expect, allowing them to gather as needed. B. While discussing the client’s health status may be supportive, it does not directly address the spouse’s request for understanding signs of impending death. C. Gathering information about how long it will take for the children to arrive is important but secondary to providing the spouse with information about impending signs of death. D. While reassuring the spouse is important, it may not provide the immediate information they seek about recognizing the signs of dying.
