While caring for a client near end of life, a nurse talks to the client. An unlicensed assistive personnel asks why the nurse is talking to someone who is dying. Which response is accurate?

It makes me feel better to talk to my clients.

I do this so I will not be so afraid the client will die.

I believe the client can hear me as long as the client is alive.

I do not know; the client’s family asked me to do this.
