Notify the health care provider about the patient's desire to donate organs.

Contact the United Network for Organ Sharing after talking with the patient.

Instruct the patient to talk with parents about the desire to donate organs.

Prepare the organ donation form for the patient to sign while still oriented.

Answer and Explanation

The Correct Answer is C

A. Notifying the health care provider is not the most appropriate first action, as parental consent is needed.
B. Contacting the United Network for Organ Sharing is premature without consent from the parents.
