NCLEX-PN Exam - Topic 4 Question 12 Discussion

Actual exam question for NCLEX's NCLEX-PN exam
Question #: 12
Topic #: 4
[All NCLEX-PN Questions]

The ICU nurse caring for a client who has just been declared brain dead can expect to find evidence of the client's wishes regarding organ donation:

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: A

In most states, indication of organ donor status is found on the driver's license. Evidence in a last will and testament or in a safety deposit box is not readily accessible for decision-making if the need arises. Insurance cards do not contain such information. Another source might be the client's primary care physician's health record documentation.Coordinated Care

I thought it could be in the will too, but not sure.

D? Really? As if the insurance card would have that information. This exam question is a no-brainer.

C is a good guess, but who actually reads their will before they die? A is the obvious choice here.

I don’t recall seeing anything about safety deposit boxes in our studies, so I’m leaning towards the driver's license as the best option.

I’m not confident, but I thought organ donation preferences could also be in a will. Is that right?

Ugh, I'm not sure. The wording of the question is tripping me up. I'll have to review the material on organ donation again before answering.

Okay, let me see. The question is asking where the nurse can expect to find the client's organ donation wishes. I'm going to go with A - the driver's license.

I'm not sure about this one. The client's wishes could be in their will or insurance card, right? I'll have to think this through carefully.
