Hi !

Explore the family's thoughts and concerns about the client's refusal of food.  The nurse can help them identify other ways to express how they care.

The priority of the nursing action is B. Explore the family's thoughts and concerns about the client's refusal of food.

Since the client is taking sips of water but refusing food, it's important to know what the client's family thinks about the situation.

Telling the family that the client is dying is wrong and not advisable. A feeding bottle cannot be recommended in this situation too. The thoughts of the family are important before taking further action.
