Answer to Question 1

C
For accuracy and relevancy, the food recall must include specific information about the type of food ingested, the preparation method, and an accurate estimate of the amount.

Answer to Question 2

D
The health care proxy designates a surrogate health care decision maker if the patient is incapa-citated. A do not resuscitate order prohibits cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) if breathing or heartbeat stops. Specifying what treatment the patient finds unacceptable is part of the living will. Explaining wishes is in the advanced health directive.
