Answer to Question 1

A
Feedback:
Corneas or any other organs should be harvested within a few hours of death to ensure successful transplant. Organs cannot be harvested on verbal agreement, to protect the health care facility from any legal consequences; permission is always obtained in writing. Corneas can be donated by clients of any age. If the dying or dead client meets the donation criteria, the possibility of harvesting organs after death is discussed with the next of kin.

Answer to Question 2

D
