Answer to Question 1

autopsy
An autopsy, the surgical dissection of a body after death, helps determine the exact cause and circumstances of a death, discovers the pathway of a disease, or provides data for research purposes.

Answer to Question 2

C
To correctly stage a pressure ulcer, the nurse must be able to see the base of the wound. Therefore, pressure ulcers that are covered with necrotic tissue cannot be staged until the eschar has been debrided and the base of the wound is visible. Until debridement occurs, the ulcer should be documented as unstageable.
