Question

A nurse is working in the emergency department where a family has just been informed their loved one has died. The ED waiting room is full. The family asks the nurse if the client's body can stay in the emergency department until the other family members arrive. The remaining family live 1 hour away. What is nurse's BEST response to the family? Hospital policy states that we have to move the client's body to the morgue within an hour. I am so sorry, but you cannot wait here. When the rest of the family gets here, you can go with them to see the body in the morgue. The ED is full, and we need the bed quickly for another patient, but you can view the body now. We will do everything we can to give the other family members time to get to the ED.
