Even just telling them they're going to die is an imcompitent thing to do. .
I disagree. You never lie to a patient. If death is obvious I will tell them while I plan to do all within my power to help them that there may be nothing more I can than help them be comfortable. I will ask if they want me to give a message to anyone in case my efforts do not work. Sometimes this at least lets them say goodbye. I will not lie to my patients or their familys.
