Question 2

Mr. Holmes is a 66-year-old man who is receiving radiation therapy and chemotherapy for the treatment of small cell lung cancer. As Mr. Holmes' nurse, you have assessed him many times since he was admitted to the hospital.
 
  This morning, he admits that his greatest challenge he is currently facing is his overwhelming fatigue. How should you respond to this patient's statement?
  A) Your fatigue is actually a sign that your body is redirecting its energies toward healing and away from more common functions like mobility.
  B) I'm sure you'll agree that fatigue, even when it's severe, is much preferable to pain. It's fortunate that your pain is now well-controlled.
  C) That must be incredibly difficult for you. How would you rate your fatigue if you had to give it a number from 1 to 10?
  D) That's entirely normal, given what your body is going through and how much treatment you're currently getting.
