A) Nurses need closure for their grief in much the same way families do. Attending the wake and/or funeral allows the nurse time to say goodbye and offers support to the family. Keeping a scrapbook of pictures of dead clients is not a healthy way to resolve grief. Taking a week off from work is probably not healthy or realistic. Leaving the unit immediately after the client's death is desertion of a sort. The nurse should stay with the family and give death care with the family to the client, as this will also help with closure.
