Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
Family members will grieve differently. One sign of normal grief is keeping the deceased individual's room intact as a way to keep that person alive in the minds of survivors. This is happening after the family member is deceased, so it is not end-of-life grief. It is not abnormal or complicated grief; the child died recently.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
Leave dentures in the mouth to maintain facial shape. Raise the head of the bed as soon as possible after death to prevent discoloration of the face. Cover the body with a clean sheet. Autopsy often does not allow removal of tubes, equipment, and indwelling lines.
