RN Comprehensive Predictor 2026 Proctored Exam V2
A nurse is planning to perform postmortem care for a client. Which of the following actions should the nurse plan to take?
Explanation & Rationale
Closing the client's eyes is a standard postmortem care action that is done for dignity and family viewing. Dentures should be left in the mouth to maintain facial structure for viewing — not removed. The client should be positioned in a supine position with a small pillow under the head to prevent blood pooling and discoloration in the face. The wrist identification tag must remain in place for body identification — it is not removed until the medical examiner or mortuary staff takes over.
