Answer to Question 1

1
Rationale: As clients awaken in the morning, early morning care is offered, consisting of providing a urinal or bedpan, washing the face and hands, and giving oral care.

Answer to Question 2

3,5
Rationale: The nurse first must consider religious and cultural wishes of the client, as some religions and cultures have preferences that should be followed, if at all possible. The body will be washed to remove any secretions and make it look presentable for family who visit, but is not washed as thoroughly as possible because the funeral home will prepare the body for viewing if indicated. Removal of tubes depends on facility policy, state and local laws, and the need for the coroner to examine the body. The body is positioned so that the head is elevated 30 degrees to prevent discoloration of the face with the eyes closed. Laying the body supine increases risk of discoloration of the face and head, as blood will settle in the dependent area.
