Emily is a 75-year-old female who is diagnosed with a terminal disease. One afternoon, the client says, “If I can only live to see my granddaughter born, I would be OK.” The nurse recognizes that the client demonstrates:
  1. Disbelief
  2. Acceptance
  3. Depression
  4. Bargaining
Explanation
Answer: D - The elderly client demonstrates bargaining. Bargaining is manifested by if this, then that statements. Disbelief is manifested by no, not me responses. In depression, the client accepts the inevitable, but he or she can still be exceedingly sad about the condition. Acceptance occurs when the client is at peace with the terminal disease.
