Scenario 12
Domain: grief and loss
Source: nursing fundamentals
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?
