A nurse is caring for a client who has a terminal illness. The client asks several questions about the nurse's religious beliefs related to death and dying. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?

B)Encourage the client to express his thoughts about death and dying?
C)Tell the client that religious beliefs are a personal matter.
D)Offer to contact the client's minister or the facility's chaplain.
B
A nurse should recognize the client's need to talk about impending death, and encourage the client to discuss his thoughts on the subject. This is therapeutic technique of reflecting. Depending on the situation, the nurse can also share some thoughts on this topic. Self-disclosure is a communication skill
that can help open lines of communication when appropriate. If the nurse does not want to share personal beliefs, the communication skills of offering self and listening to the client's thoughts are appropriate.
