Documentation of end-of-life care includes the following: time and date of death, location of body identification tags, time of body transfer and destination and personal articles left on and secured to the body. Reason for the death is not appropriate; this is a medical judgment and not a nursing judgment. How ethically the family grieved is judgmental and does not belong in the chart. We must remain open to the varying views and beliefs of grieving that are in contrast to our own in order to best support and care for our patients and their families.
