The client is a very thin, emaciated 86-year-old who reports the new onset of shortness of breath. A chest x-ray reveals a spot on the lungs that the physician believes is an inoperable lung cancer.
 
  The client's emaciated status would exclude the option of chemotherapy, and the physician says the location of the cancer would make radiation therapy unsuccessful. In advocating for this client, the nurse would encourage the health care team to: 1. Perform any procedure necessary to diagnose this suspected cancer.
   2. Promote the use of noninvasive procedures to diagnose the suspected cancer.
   3. Provide palliative care to treat the signs and symptoms without diagnostic testing.
   4. Determine the client and family's wishes regarding diagnostic testing.
