Many lives are saved through organ donation. Nurses are often the first to recognize potential donors, which makes it important to improve the referral process. This proposed study will help determine if the new neurological assessment tool, the Full Outline of UnResponsiveness Scale (FOUR Score) initiates more referrals to the organ procurement organization than the other neurological assessment tool, Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS).
