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: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D: Hold the client's eyes shut for a few seconds. This action is important to maintain a natural appearance and prevent the eyes from remaining partially open, which can be distressing for the family. It allows for a peaceful and respectful presentation during the family visit.

A: Crossing the client's arms is not necessary for postmortem care and may not be culturally appropriate for all families.
B: Removing dentures is not typically part of postmortem care unless specifically requested by the family.
C: Placing the client in a high-Fowler's position is not recommended postmortem as it may not appear natural and can be uncomfortable for the deceased.

In summary, holding the client's eyes shut is the correct action to ensure a dignified presentation, while the other options are either unnecessary or inappropriate for postmortem care.
