Administering prescribed morphine PRN is the correct answer because, in terminally ill clients experiencing dyspnea, morphine can help relieve the sensation of shortness of breath by reducing anxiety, pain, and work of breathing. Morphine is a common medication used in palliative care to manage dyspnea effectively. Encouraging frequent ambulation, providing high-flow oxygen via a nonrebreather mask, and using a cooling fan in the room are not the most appropriate interventions for minimizing dyspnea in terminally ill clients.
