2. Preparation for organ donation
3. Time for the family to bathe the client
4. Preparation for quick removal out of the hospital
ANS: 3
Some families of Chinese Americans will prefer to bathe the client themselves. They often be-lieve the body should remain intact; organ donation and autopsy are uncommon. Chinese Ameri-cans do not prefer pastoral care for after-death care of a family member. Organ donation is un-common for Chinese Americans. Chinese Americans may desire time to bathe the client. Quick removal from the hospital is not preferred.
