Answer to Question 1

ANS: A, B, D, E
Removing the dentures gives the face an unnatural appearance. All the other activities are appropriate to prepare the resident and environment after death.

Answer to Question 2

Individuals are brought in as requested to meet the spiritual needs of the bereaved. The role of the nurse includes guiding the bereaved as to what needs to be done, serving as a resource for information related to death and dying, being an advocate for the deceased and his or her family to make requests known related to cultural and spiritual preferences, and supporting the need for privacy and emotional release at the time of death.
