A product note by Monika E. Fuchs (author) titled “Communication in the Context of Organ Donation” addresses the sensitive and difficult task of communication in the context of organ donation in a medical setting. This communication occurs during a time of high stress for family members and associated healthcare professionals as they deal with uncertainty, grief, and vulnerability. Despite these challenges, they must work together to determine whether an organ donation card is available, and whether critically ill family members agree to organ donation. Even though the interests of those involved may differ, their common goal is to take the patient’s wishes into account when making decisions.

This interdisciplinary book explores the contingencies that exist in the field and aims to provide an accurate understanding of the situation. Various courses of action were explored to help alleviate the specific communication challenges that arise in these situations.
