A patient who is terminally ill has been unable to maintain good nutrition because of nausea and anorexia and has lost a great deal of weight. He is now unable to change his position in bed and needs frequent perineal care because of urinary incontinence. The nurse planning his care would include in the plan of care to:

A. Bargaining: Bargaining refers to a stage in Kübler-Ross's model of grief and acceptance, where individuals attempt to negotiate or make deals to change the outcome of a situation.

B. Palliation: Palliation refers to the relief of symptoms when a cure is no longer possible. It focuses on providing comfort and improving the quality of life for individuals with serious illnesses, particularly in the end stages of life.

C. Reorganization: Reorganization, also known as the reconstruction stage, is part of Worden's Four Tasks of Mourning model. It involves integrating the loss into one's life and forming new roles, routines, and relationships in the absence of the deceased.

D. Assisted Suicide: Assisted suicide involves intentionally helping a person end their life, typically due to incurable suffering or terminal illness. It is a highly controversial and legally restricted practice in many jurisdictions.

A. Obituary: An obituary is a notice of a person's death, typically including a brief biography and details of the funeral arrangements. It is a written announcement or notice of someone's passing, usually published in newspapers or online. Obituaries do not involve the examination of body organs and tissues after death; rather, they serve as a tribute to the deceased.

B. Postmortem care: Postmortem care refers to the care provided to the body of a deceased person, including cleaning, preparing for viewing, and ensuring dignity in handling. It involves activities such as bathing, dressing, and positioning the body. Postmortem care does not involve the examination of body organs and tissues for diagnostic or investigative purposes.

C. Autopsy: An autopsy is the examination of a body after death to determine the cause of death or to study the extent and nature of disease processes. It involves a thorough examination of body organs and tissues, often including dissection and analysis under a microscope. Autopsies are performed by pathologists and are typically ordered by medical examiners, coroners, or physicians to gather information about the circumstances surrounding a person's death.

D. Transplant: Transplantation involves the surgical removal of an organ or tissue from one person (the donor) and its transfer to another person (the recipient) to replace a damaged or failing organ. Transplants are performed while the donor is alive (living donor) or after death (deceased donor). However, the examination of body organs and tissues after death is not specifically related to the transplant process.
