HESI LPN Exit Exam IV Proctored Exam
The practical nurse (PN) is caring for a hospice client who requests a priest for the "Last Rites." Which should be the next response by the PN?
Explanation & Rationale
A. Exploring the client’s thoughts about dying is supportive but not the immediate priority when a specific request for a religious ritual is made. B. Notifying the family of the request is a secondary action but should follow the immediate fulfillment of the client's request for spiritual support. C. Suggesting that the hospital chaplain is available might be appropriate, but the client's specific request was for a priest, and it is better to offer to contact the priest directly. D. Offering to contact the priest for the client directly addresses the client's immediate spiritual need and respects their request.
