"The nurse is caring for an elderly patient with chronic kidney disease who is on dialysis. The patient states, “I don’t want to live anymore. Having to rely on this machine isn’t living. I want to stop dialysis.” What would be the most therapeutic response by the nurse?"

1. “I’m sure you’ll feel better after the treatment today.”
2. “How can you say that? Your family would really miss you.”
3. “I’ll tell the doctor you want to stop treatment.”
4. “You sound hopeless. Would you like to talk about it?”
