A Nurse Is Caring for a Client with a Terminal

A nurse is caring for a client with a terminal illness. The client asks if the nurse will pray with the client for the remission of the cancer. The nurse does not practice the same religion and does not believe that a remission is possible at this stage of the disease. The nurse should:

A) Gently confront the client about unrealistic expectations that the cancer is going to regress.
B) Call the chaplain and set up a referral for the client's spiritual distress.
C) Stand silently for a few moments while the client prays.
D) Encourage the client to go ahead, but leave the room while the client prays.
