An adult client was diagnosed with stage IV lung cancer three weeks ago. The client's spouse approaches the nurse and asks, "How will I know that my husband's death is imminent? Our two adult children want to be here when their father dies." Which is the best response by the nurse?

Offer to discuss the client's health status with each of the adult children.

Reassure the spouse that the healthcare provider (HCP) will notify when to call the children.

Gather information regarding how long it will take for the children to arrive.

Explain that the client will start to lose consciousness and the body systems will slow down.
