The family of a terminally ill patient asks the nurse what they should expect when she dies. The nurse tells the family:
 
  1. Her heart will stop, and she will stop breathing a few minutes later.
  2. Respirations and heart rate first become very irregular and then stop altogether.
  3. Everybody is different, so it is difficult to say.
  4. Her breathing will stop, and her heart will cease beating within a few minutes.

A nurse realizes that a terminally ill patient is ready to talk about dying when he or she states:
 
  1. I'm feeling a little stronger each day.
  2. Do you think you could just sit with me for a while?
  3. I've decided to begin taking chemotherapy again.
  4. What do you think death feels like?
