A) "We will use an electric blanket to keep your partner warm." - While maintaining warmth is important, this statement does not address communication or understanding between the partner and the client. B) "Encourage your partner to eat three large meals each day." - Encouraging large meals may not be appropriate for a client at end-of-life care, and this statement doesn't address communication either. C) "Assume your partner can hear you, even if they do not respond." - This statement acknowledges the importance of communication and connection with the client, even if they are not responsive. D) "Opioids will be restricted if your partner develops respiratory distress." - This statement may be relevant in certain contexts but is not as directly related to communication and support for the partner.
