Collaborate with OPO: Thank you for asking! as front line health care person interacting with patient (who is in extremis) and family, your role is to be certain they have confidence in the healthcare system - + they should. As part of that system, if survival doesn't occur, access to organ + tissue donation is preserved by your unwavering support. Trained personnel should have the discussion with the family.
