NCLEX Practice Test RN Practice Question

The client with cancer refuses to care for herself. Which action by the nurse would be best?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: Exploring the reason for the client’s refusal to self-care (e.g., depression, pain, or fear) is the best approach, as it addresses the underlying cause and guides interventions. Alternating nurses avoids the issue, explaining self-care may not address motivation, and consulting the physician is secondary.
