Question

A nurse is caring for the family of a patient receiving palliative care. Which points should the nurse remember while consoling the family of the patient?

Answer 1

Explanation: Keep calm, Tell the family that the doctor is doing everything that they can and that more information will come soon. Tell them the good news first and be very specific with details. If there is bad news, never say “but” because that builds suspense. Make sure the family stays calm and not aggressive. TELL THEM THAT THEY CAN SEE THE PATIENT AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.
