Answer to Question 1

B
Many times the decision regarding lifesaving treatment is in writing in the patient's living will or advance directive. Living wills are documents instructing the health care provider to withhold or withdraw life-sustaining procedures in a patient who is terminally ill. Advanced directives are not an organ donation card, nor informed consent, nor autopsy permission.

Answer to Question 2

C
Heat loss occurs through conduction, which is the transfer of heat from one object to another with direct contact. When the warm skin touches a cooler object, heat transfers from the skin to the object until temperatures equalize. Convection is the transfer of heat away from the body by air movement. Fans promote heat loss through convection. Radiation is the transfer of heat between two objects without physical contact. Evaporation is the transfer of heat energy when a liquid is changed to a gas.
