During an advance-care planning discussion, the nurse realises the client is unsure about the meaning of “life-sustaining treatment.” The best action is to:

2. Use plain language to explain options and check understanding
3. Avoid the topic because it is too complex to explain now
4. State that everything must be done unless the client refuses it
