Answer to Question 1

2,4
Rationale: Soap and detergent cause drying.

Answer to Question 2

2
Rationale: Many clients from the Buddhist religion believe that organ donation is an act of mercy, and would be comforted by the donation of the client's organs if possible. Clients believing in Buddhism are usually cremated; ceremonies are performed before death, when last rite changing is done at the bedside, and there is no special preparation of the body.
