A client is diagnosed with a terminal illness and is demonstrating anxiety. What intervention can the nurse use to help the client at this time?
1. Explore the client's history with other stressful life events and how successful coping was at that time.
2. 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.
3. Supply information about the client's disease process and the expected trajectory of death only on a need-to-know basis.
4. Encourage early pharmaceutical intervention with antianxiety and sedative medications.
