lack of further chemotherapy options available and then leaves the room. As a
nurse, what kind of strategies to address the potentional range of emotions during
this interaction? Please explain in 3 paragraphs, including references.

Answer :

The first thing a patient may feel when she hear the news is a feeling of
shock and disbelief about the condition she are suffering from. Therefore the
presence of nurses is really needed by patients. Actions that nurses can take
include being around the patient and family as an active listener. This action is
intended so that the patient thinks the nurse really wants to help her and is by her
side.

While approaching patients, nurses must continue to communicate

honestly and openly. Apart from that, nurses are also required to keep an open
mind, listen carefully to the patient's complaints, and observe the patient's
response to the news that has just been conveyed. And allow the patient to express
her feelings about the situation she is currently experiencing.

Another action that nurses can provide is to train the patient's family on
how to care for and accompany the patient while going through the stages of loss.
By training families on how to care for patients during times of loss, it is hoped
that families can provide an atmosphere that supports the patient's loss process.
An example is by providing a comfortable atmosphere when the patient is resting
or providing an atmosphere that makes the patient feel happy.
