The correct answer is to confirm that the healthcare provider has certified the client’s death. This step is essential to ensure that post-mortem care can proceed within the legal and institutional framework. Failing to have the death certified before proceeding with other actions, such as removing tubes or notifying the family, can lead to legal and procedural complications. The incorrect options focus on important but subsequent steps, such as notifying the family, positioning the client, or removing medical devices, which should follow the documentation of death by the healthcare provider.
