Answer to Question 1

A
Feedback:
Corneas or any other organs should be harvested within a few hours of death to ensure successful transplant. Organs cannot be harvested on verbal agreement, to protect the health care facility from any legal consequences; permission is always obtained in writing. Corneas can be donated by clients of any age. If the dying or dead client meets the donation criteria, the possibility of harvesting organs after death is discussed with the next of kin.

Answer to Question 2

D
Steps for the Heimlich maneuver on an adult client who is choking include to stand behind the client, wrap the arms around the client's waist, and then place fists below the xiphoid process and give a quick upward thrust until airway is cleared.
