A nurse is preparing the body of a client who is deceased to be viewed by the family. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?

A. Request the family members leave the client's room: Family members may choose to stay if they wish, and they should be allowed to participate or be present during postmortem care if it aligns with their emotional needs or cultural practices. Forcing them to leave is not appropriate unless required for specific procedures. B. Place dentures in the client's mouth: Placing dentures helps maintain the natural shape and appearance of the face, offering a more familiar and comforting appearance for the family during viewing. This is an important step in preparing the body respectfully. C. Remove the client's personal hair pieces: Hairpieces should be left in place unless the family or facility policy requests otherwise. Removing them without need can alter the client’s appearance and potentially distress the family. D. Lower the head of the client's bed: The head of the bed should be elevated slightly, not lowered, to prevent blood from pooling in the head and face, which could cause discoloration and swelling before the family views the body.
