AB  - After  the  death  of  a  patient,  the  clinician  is  called  upon  to  perform  a  number  of  tasks,  both  required  and  recommended.  The  clinician  must  plainly  and  directly  inform  the  family  of  the  death,  complete  a  death  certificate,  contact  an  organ  procurement  organization,  and  request  an  autopsy.  Providing  words  of  sympathy  and  reassurance,  time  for  questions  and  initial  grief  and,  for  people  who  die  in  the  hospital  or  other  health  care  facility,  a  quiet  private  room  for  the  family  to  grieve  is  appropriate  and  much  appreciated.
