A nurse is caring for a client who has just died. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?

A. Leaving noninvasive equipment on the client’s body is not appropriate during postmortem care. Tubing and devices should be removed unless an autopsy is required. B. Dentures should generally be left in place to maintain the natural shape of the face and promote a more normal appearance for family viewing. C. Turning the lights up is unnecessary and may create a harsh environment. A calm, respectful setting with normal or dim lighting is preferred during postmortem care. D. Closing the client’s eyes before the family views the body helps provide a peaceful and dignified appearance and is an important part of postmortem care.
