A hospice nurse is caring for a client who has been given 6 months to live. Which nursing intervention would address the anxiety of the client and family associated with receiving a terminal diagnosis?

B) Teach the family that while talking with the client about death and dying is permissible, they should not allow the client to dwell on death.
C) Supply information about the client's disease process and the expected trajectory of death only on a need-to-know basis.
D) Encourage early pharmaceutical intervention with anti-anxiety and sedative medications to ease the grieving process.
