An older adult client from a collectivistic culture is nearing the end of life. The client's adult children insist on making all medical decisions, stating it is their cultural responsibility. The client appears passive but has previously expressed wishes for certain treatments. How should the nurse best navigate this situation?
✓ Correct Answer: Option C
This approach balances cultural sensitivity with patient advocacy. It allows for open dialogue where the client's voice can be heard within the family context, fostering shared decision-making rather than imposing one cultural norm over another.
