Verification of death is the process of confirming the fact of death. It is different to certification of the cause of death. Certification of the cause of death is the responsibility of a medical professional. It is crucial for nurses to be able to verify death rather than wait for a doctor because it allows for the timely appropriate after care to the deceased family and their loved ones at a time of stress and anxiety.
- when a nurse can verify death
