The best option for the nurse would be to suggest the family call someone who can help, such as a social worker or a religious leader. This would provide the family with additional support and resources to assist them in making decisions during this difficult time. Offering a list of preferred funeral homes or allowing privacy may not address the underlying issue of functional disruption within the family. Helping them make a list of problems may be a helpful intervention, but may not directly address the need for outside assistance.
