Question

question 9
a client is approaching an imminent death and is struggling with severe and uncontrolled pain. what options are available to the client to help achieve comfort?
atropine drops
terminal sedation
oxygen via mask
docusate sodium

Explanation:

Terminal sedation is a medical intervention used in end - of - life care to relieve severe and uncontrolled symptoms, such as pain, in a patient approaching imminent death. Atropine drops are mainly used for certain eye conditions or to treat bradycardia (slow heart rate) in some non - end - of - life situations. Oxygen via mask is for respiratory support but may not directly address severe pain. Docusate sodium is a stool softener and has no role in pain management for a dying patient.

Answer:

Terminal sedation
