Q1
A 60-year-old client with metastatic breast cancer is in an inpatient hospice unit and is increasingly drowsy, taking only sips of fluid, and grimaces when repositioned. The client’s partner asks the nurse to “make her eat” and worries that decreased intake means the nurse is “giving up.” Which statement by the family indicates a need for further teaching about end-of-life care?
