Question

A client in home hospice care verbalizes to her caregiver that she wants to meet with her minister. the caregiver, who does not want the minister to visit or to interact with the minister because of her different values and beliefs, asks the home health nurse how to handle this situation. to prevent further disagreement between the client and caregiver, what is the best recommendation for the nurse to implement?

Answer 1

The best recommendation for the nurse to implement base on the situation is for the nurse to arrange an alternative caregiver that could be available when the minister will visit the client. It is because the client’s needs especially spiritually should be met and that the opinions of the caregiver should also be respected and by that, it is much suitable to arrange an alternative caregiver based on the situation.
