Which intervention for the dying client should the nursing assistant question?

Active range-of-motion exercises may not be appropriate for a dying client, as these exercises are typically designed to help maintain joint flexibility and muscle strength in individuals who are still able to benefit from mobility. In the context of someone who is actively dying, the focus should be on comfort rather than physical therapy or exercise.

Instead, interventions such as providing a comfortable environment, offering emotional support, and ensuring proper pain management directly address the needs of the dying patient. These options prioritize comfort, emotional well-being, and pain relief, which are critical components of end-of-life care. Therefore, it is essential for the nursing assistant to prioritize interventions that align with these goals while being cautious about suggesting active exercises that may not be beneficial at this stage.
