A neighbor of Rick Rescue, RN is considering registering as an organ donor. While visiting over the fence, the neighbor asks, “Hey Rick Rescue, RN, working as a professional sword-swallowing sky-diver has got me thinking about becoming an organ donor. But, I’m a little worried about what would happen if I were in a life-threatening circumstance- would they still take good care of me? Would the fact that I registered as a donor affect the medical care I would receive?” Which of the following would be good responses?
  1. “Dude, I’m off-duty. I’ll get a brochure from work that explains everything.”
  2. “Absolutely not, neighbor. The medical team that would treat you is completely separate from the transplant team. They are two separate teams, for two entirely different purposes.”
  3. “Nothing to worry about friend, the medical team will make every effort to save your life. Only afterwards is organ donation even considered.”
  4. “In your line of work, I think it’s good you're thinking about these kinds of things. Hey, can I borrow your tree-clippers?”
