You are a nurse providing care for Mrs. Lyn, a 47-year-old client admitted with metastatic lung cancer receiving hospice care. The client’s condition has declined significantly over the past week; she is actively dying. Over the last 24 hours, Mrs. Lyn has declined rapidly and is now unresponsive but appears to be resting comfortably. You enter the client’s room and find Mr. Lyn weeping at the client’s bedside. What actions would you take to comfort Mr. Lyn?
