HESI PN Exit 2023 II Proctored Exam
An adult male was diagnosed with stage IV lung cancer three weeks ago.His wife approaches the nurse and asks how she will know that her husband's death is imminent because their two adult children want to be there when he dies.Which is the best response by the nurse?
Explanation & Rationale
Choice B rationale:Choice A rationale:Gathering information regarding how long it will take for the children to arrive is important but does not address the immediate need for information on the dying process.Choice C rationale:Offering to discuss the client's health status with each of the adult children is a good approach for involving them in their father's care but does not provide the immediate information the wife is seeking.Choice D rationale:Reassuring the spouse that the healthcare provider will notify when to call the children does not offer information about the dying process itself, which is what the wife is interested in understanding.
