Question 1 of 5
A nurse is performing postmortem care for a recently deceased client prior to the client's family visit. Which of the following actions should the nurse plan to take?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Hold the client's eyes shut for a few seconds. This action is important to maintain a dignified appearance for the deceased client and to create a peaceful and respectful image for the family during their visit. Crossing the client's arms (
A) or placing them in a high-Fowler's position (
C) may not be necessary and can be considered unnecessary handling of the body. Removing the client's dentures (
D) is not typically part of postmortem care unless specifically instructed. Holding the eyes shut briefly is a culturally sensitive and respectful practice that can help create a serene appearance for the family.
