When caring for the client in intractable pain from a terminal condition, the nurse should recall that:

  2. The legality of the action is the only consideration.
  3. Active euthanasia is legal in some jurisdictions.
  4. Passive euthanasia is a violation of the ANA code.

  3. The nurse asks the client if he needs a hearing aid
  4. The nurse tells the client that they will talk later
