NCLEX PN Practice Questions Practice Question
The daughter of a 78-year-old woman asks the nurse why her mother is giving away some of her belongings to her children and grandchildren. What should the nurse include when responding?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Option B is the most appropriate response, as it acknowledges that older adults often reflect on their lives and may wish to organize their belongings as they prepare for the end of life. This behavior can be a healthy part of coping with aging and mortality.
Option A is misleading; while some older adults may become more generous, this behavior is not universally true and does not specifically address the question of giving away belongings.
Option C suggests a lack of trust, which may not be the case and could misinterpret the mother’s intentions.
Option D introduces a serious and unfounded assumption about suicidal thoughts, which is inappropriate without further context.
