Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Staying at the bedside and listening allows the client to discuss any unresolved issues or physical discomforts that should be addressed. Stating that no one feels ready for death fails to address the individual client's concerns. Telling the client that everything is being done does not address the client's fears about dying, especially since the client is likely to die soon. Family members may not feel comfortable staying at the bedside of a dying client; the nurse should not insist they remain there.
