An adult has just died. How should the nurse prepare the body for transfer to the mortuary?
ExplanationThe body should be bathed, a clean gown should be put on, and the body should have identification tags placed on it. Dentures, if normally used by the client, should be placed in the mouth. The body should be flat with extremities straight. If the head is down, the blood will go to the head and discolor the skin, making viewing difficult.
