The male client diagnosed with ESRD secondary to diabetes has been receiving dialysis for 12 years. The client is notified that he will not be placed on the kidney transplant list. The client tells the nurse he will not be back for any more dialysis treatments. Which response would be most therapeutic? 1. “You cannot just quit your dialysis. This is not an option.” 2. “Are you angry at not being on the list, so you want to quit dialysis?” 3. “I will call your nephrologist right now so you can talk to the HCP.” 4. “Make your funeral arrangements because you are going to die.”
