Feedback:
The nurse should allow the client to take her own time in moving through the dying process, rather than hastening her through it, because this will not help the client. The nurse should not try to convince the client that she is dying or explain to the client that all people eventually die, because the client is aware of these facts, but is not willing to accept them at the moment. It would not be appropriate for the nurse to ask the client to seek comfort in prayer, because she needs to accept the situation first.
