When describing organ donation to the family of a dying child, what would the nurse include in the discussion?
A) Telling them that further harm may occur to the child through the process
B) Tell them that their cultural and religious beliefs will be considered
C) Including this topic in the discussion of impending death
D) Informing the family that organ donation will delay the funeral
Ans: B
During organ donation, the family's cultural and religious beliefs must be considered, and the team discussing organ donation with the family must do so in a sensitive and ethical manner. The donating child will not suffer further because of organ donation. The topic of organ donation should be separated from the discussion of impending death or brain death notification. Organs are harvested in a timely fashion after the declaration of death so the family need not worry about delay of the wake or funeral.
