  2. Slow, deep respirations.
  3. A cycle of shallow and deep respirations.
  4. Cyanosis of the hands and feet.

  1. Insisting that the family bathe the patient so they can begin the grieving process.
  2. Documenting the time when the patient stopped breathing and the heart ceased.
  3. Notifying the physician so that the patient will be legally pronounced dead.
  4. Bathing the body and removing all tubes, unless an autopsy might be ordered.
