Yes, part of the routine care when someone dies is to wash and re-dress a deceased person prior to transport. Often, Nursing Assistants do death care, but nurses must know how to do it. It's actually one of the most caring--and humbling--acts a nurse can do for his/her patient.

NOTE: IF A DEATH IS SUSPICIOUS, ALL IVs, TUBING, ETC. IS LEFT IN PLACE.
