The nurse is caring for an older adult Native American client who is experiencing severe chest pain. ...

The nurse is caring for an older adult Native American client who is experiencing severe chest pain. The client is accompanied by a tribesman at the insistence of the client. The tribesman tells the nurse that their culture teaches acceptance of death as part of the natural cycle of life and that treatments must be stopped. The client’s son insists that his father be treated, and states he feels the tribe’s teachings are antiquated. Which action by the nurse is the most appropriate?
1. Call the social worker to plan a family meeting without the tribesman.
2. Interview the client and ascertain his wishes and beliefs.
3. Convene the hospital ethics committee.
4. Call the nursing supervisor.
