A nurse is completing postmortem documentation for a client. Which of the following information should the nurse include in the documentation?

A. The cause of death is typically determined and documented by the attending physician or coroner, not the nurse. B. While this information might be included in other parts of the medical record prior to the death, it is not required in postmortem documentation. C. The nurse should verify that advance directives were followed, but the actual copy of the advance directives does not need to be included in the postmortem documentation. These should already be part of the client’s medical record. D. Documenting the location of the identification tag is important for proper identification of the body after death. This ensures that the body is correctly identified during transfer to the morgue or funeral home.
