Answer to Question 1

A
Devout Muslims sometimes refuse an autopsy for fear of desecrating the dead and because of the belief that one has to be whole to appear in front of the creator. They prefer burial to cremation.

Answer to Question 2

D
Nursing is a service profession, and it is necessary to maintain a consumer- and service-based focus. Autonomy is essential to professional nursing. Autonomy means a person is reasonably independent and self-governing in decision-making and practice. Methods to decentralize medical and nursing care are a type of nursing care delivery system.
