A nurse is assessing the needs of a client who just learned that a tumor is malignant, has metastasized to several organs, and that the illness is terminal. What behavior does the nurse expect the client to exhibit during the initial stage of grieving? Correct Answer Asking for a second opinion
Explanation-
- Asking for a second opinion will deny the present condition of the client that the client is suffering from a particular disease.
- Other options will disprove the present condition of the client.
Additional Information
- Crying uncontrollably means that the client is aware of the current situation regarding health and also not denied the present situation.
- Criticizing medical care will create the stage of anger.
- Refusing to receive visitors is common when the present situation is known by the client. In this situation, the client will be in depression and will not be eager to talk with the visitors.
