A patient is close to death with terminal liver cancer. He has widespread metastases. The nurse decides that the patient's frequent call bell summons need to be analyzed and an ap-propriate action plan implemented
In selecting the best choice, nursing action(s) should be based on which of the following judgments? 1. Encourage and insist that the family requests a transfer to hospice care, because the general hospital does not have enough staff to keep responding to the pa-tient's end-stage frequent calling and requests for minor help. 2. Use fixed interval and cocktail medication administration. Frequently evaluate for breakthrough pain and anxieties. Answer the call bell quickly on the intercom or in person. 3. Tell the family that as of this afternoon, all the patient's questions, comments, and expressed fears of dying and financial worries will be referred to the social worker, physician, or clergy. Otherwise, one of them can come in and sit beside the bed. 4. Plan to limit the time spent with the patient strictly, because there is not much that the nurse can do that could be beneficial at this point.
