Care?
A. Decrease The Analgesic Dose To Prevent Sedation.

C. Inform Family Members About Strict Visiting Hours.
D. Facilitate Family Rituals Related To Death And Dying.

To Promote Comfort And Dignity, The Nurse Facilitates The Enactment Of Family Wishes, Rituals, Or Religious
Practices Related To Death And Dying. To Promote Comfort, The Gerontological Nurse Administers Medications
As Prescribed And Avoids Re- Stricting Analgesic Agents To Patients Regardless Of The Setting Or The Nurse’s
Personal Views. Although Fostering Indepen- Dence Is Within The Scope Of The Gerontological Nursing Practice,
The Nurse Should Assess The Older Adult And Family Before Assuming That He Will Want Or Be Able To
Perform Self-Care. Although Hospice Can Have Regular Visiting Hours, The Older Adult May Need His Family
At The Bedside For Comfort, Strength, Or Companionship. Thus, To Provide Comfort And Promote Dignity, The
Gerontological Nurse Adapts Visiting Hours To
Suit The Older Adult’s Needs.
