The most helpful action for the nurse to provide intentional support for the family would be to explore with them their perception of the most pressing need at this time. This allows the nurse to prioritize and address the family's most immediate concerns and needs, which can help them feel supported and cared for during a challenging time. Reviewing printed materials or focusing only on medications may not address the family's unique needs and concerns. Suggesting that they avoid discussing their concerns may further isolate them from the support they need.
