A nurse is caring for a client who asks for information regarding organ donation. Which of the following responses should the nurse make?

Rationale: A. There is no universal minimum age of 21 for organ donation. In many jurisdictions, individuals as young as 18 can legally consent to organ donation. Additionally, minors may be able to donate with parental or guardian consent depending on local laws. Therefore, this statement provides inaccurate information. B. Organ donation registration is typically voluntary and can be changed or revoked at any time by the individual while they are alive and competent. Many organ donor registries allow individuals to update or remove their consent status, so the statement is false. C. Consent for organ donation must be formally documented, commonly through written consent such as signing a donor registry, indicating it on a driver’s license, or completing legal donor authorization forms. This ensures that the individual’s wishes are clearly recorded and legally recognized. D. There is no general rule that prohibits a nurse from acting as a witness for organ donation consent. Institutional policies may vary, but nurses are often permitted to witness consent forms as part of their professional role unless there is a conflict of interest or specific policy restriction. Therefore, this statement is not universally true and should not be presented as a standard rule.
