  The nurse is concerned that they may not have fully considered the positive effect organ donation has on both the surviving family members as well as organ recipients. Which nursing action will have the greatest therapeutic effect regarding the parents' decision? a. Ask the chaplain to address the issue with the parents after giving them time to reconsider.
  b. Gently share with the parents that they could be making a mistake they will later regret.
  c. Say nothing, and support the parents in their decision to the fullest extent possible.
