Answer to Question 1

ANS: F
Dry ice is not used for organ preservation. Crushed ice is acceptable.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
A suitable heart-beating cadaver donor must be approximately the same weight and size as the recipient, have a blood type compatible with the recipient, and have no evidence of cardiac disease. Donors are usually younger than 40 years, but exceptions may be made. Optimum preservation of the donor heart is crucial so that it can resume full activity after transplantation.
