Only symptoms that cause distress for a dying client should be treated.Such symptoms include pain,nausea and vomiting,dyspnea,and agitation.These problems interfere with the client's comfort.Even when symptoms,such as anorexia or weight loss,disturb the family,they should be treated only if the client is distressed by their presence.The nurse should provide education to the family and the client related to normal symptoms of dying.
