Answer to Question 1

D
Feedback:
Answer D most clearly prioritizes the patient's individual freedom, preference, and rights in this case, and these considerations would override the family's or the care team's conflicting interests.

Answer to Question 2

A
The spleen stores 1 pint of blood, which can be released during emergencies.
