Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A patient care conference would bring all members of the healthcare team and the family together to discuss the patient's wishes and concerns. This would allow for an open dialogue and ensure that everyone's opinions and wishes are being heard and considered. It is important for the family to feel heard and included in the decision-making process for their loved one's care. Option A could come across as dismissive or placing the responsibility solely on the family. Option C may not be necessary at this point and could create unnecessary tension. Option D acknowledges the family's feelings but does not address the main concern of their wishes being heard.
