    The hospice nurse is teaching the family of a client receiving palliative care at home how to provide care. Which instruction should the nurse provide?

    Explanation & Rationale

    Choice A reason: Reporting any change in urine color is important but not specific to the provision of palliative care at home. Choice B reason: Maintaining in high Fowler's position is not always necessary and may not be comfortable for all clients, especially in a palliative care setting. Choice C reason: Keeping mucous membranes moist helps prevent discomfort and is a key part of providing compassionate end-of-life care. Choice D reason: Recording the client's daily weights is less relevant in palliative care, where the focus is on comfort rather than ongoing medical assessments.
