Question 1

When caring for a bereaved family member, the nurse should avoid which inappropriate action?
◦ Offer privacy and a listening ear to the family before speaking.
◦ Offer clichés, such as "she lived a good life," to make the family feel better.
◦ Avoid technical, hospital, or medical terminology when explaining conditions or treatments.
◦ Use direct eye contact and offer comfort by touching.

Question 2

How should the nurse explain "brain death" to a family member?
◦ When one lobe of the brain is traumatized or bruised and is trying to repair itself
◦ Electrical malfunction of brain tissue so that it does not control breathing properly
◦ Damage to the brain so extensive that the brain is no longer functional, and function cannot be restored by medical therapies
◦ Brain tissue that is lacking blood supply so it cannot perform some of its normal functions
