A patient's wife tells the nurse that she wants to be with her husband when he dies. The patient's respirations are irregular, and he is congested.
 
  The wife tells the nurse that she would like to go home to shower but that she is afraid her husband might die before she returns. Which response by the nurse is best?
  a. Certainly, go ahead; your husband will most likely hold on until you return.
  b. Your husband could live for days or a few hours; you should do whatever you are comfortable with.
  c. You need to take care of yourself; go home and shower, and I'll stay at his bedside while you are gone.
  d. Don't worry. Your husband is in good hands; I'll look out for him.
