Question

The RPN is working a night shift on the palliative care unit. When she enters a patient's room, the patient's partner asks how long she thinks it will be until her loved one dies. The best response by the RPN would be: Question 4 options: Only God knows that. I will ask the doctor to talk to you in the morning. It is very difficult to say, but given her urine output is still good, I do not think her death is imminent. I think she will die in the next 48 hours.
