What Should Be Done For Hallucinations In 78 Year Old Woman?

I have a question about my grandmother. She is 78 and just recently had what we believe to be a hallucination where she had a conversation with and saw her dead parents and brother and at the end of the conversation someone told her she had cancer. She is severely dizzy and taking a lot of medications, should we take the news from the hallucination seriously?
