Question

a nurse is caring for a client who has been diagnosed with cervical cancer. the client asks the nurse about palliative care. which of the following responses should the nurse give?

\this treatment is for clients who have 6 months or less to live.\

\this treatment is provided to clients when curative measures have been discontinued.\

\care is provided in 60 day increments and continued if the criteria is met.\

\care is delivered for serious illnesses and focuses on quality of life.\

Explanation:

Palliative care is for serious illnesses and focuses on quality of life. It is not limited to a specific time frame like 6 months or less (so the first option is wrong). It can be provided along with curative measures, not just when curative measures are discontinued (so the second option is wrong). And it's not about 60 - day increments in the way described (so the third option is wrong).

Answer:

"Care is delivered for serious illnesses and focuses on quality of life."
