Psychosocial IntegrityQuestion 1538 of 2368

A Jehovah's Witness client has died. Which statement should the nurse avoid saying to the family?

  1. "He's in a better place now."
  2. "I am sorry for your loss."
  3. "Would you like some time alone with the client?"
  4. "Is there anyone you would like me to call?"
Show answer

Correct answer: "He's in a better place now."

This tradition does not teach an immediate afterlife, so saying the client is in a better place would be inappropriate.
