Simulated
A client was admitted to the community palliative care unit ten years after being diagnosed with multiple sclerosis (MS). Which intervention should the nurse prioritize in the client's care plan?
Correct answer
B
Rationale
Administering medication as needed for pain and anxiety should be prioritized in the care plan for a client with MS in a palliative care unit. MS can cause varying degrees of pain and anxiety, and managing these symptoms can significantly improve the client's quality of life during the advanced stages of the disease.
