Answer to Question 1

A
The nurse can help address the client's spiritual needs by being available for prayer, contacting the client's spiritual advisor, and communicating empathy, using touch. The nurse should also be sensitive to the needs of family members, allowing them to participate in the client's care as desired and respecting their individual ways of grieving.

Answer to Question 2

C
The nurse's first priority when implementing care for a client who is dying is to communicate caring to the client and family. The presence of a comforting nurse can make a tremendous difference to the client.
