A client who had a “Do Not Resuscitate” order passed away. After verifying there is no pulse or respirations, the nurse should next:
A. Have family members say goodbye to the deceased.
B. Call the transplant team to retrieve vital organs.
C. Remove all tubes and equipment (unless organ donation is to take place), clean the body, and position appropriately.
D. Call the funeral director to come and get the body.
Place an order in 3 easy steps. Takes less than 5 mins.
