any glimmer of uncertainty as to a patient’s desire in an emergency situation should be

○ to contact family members prior making any treatment decisions.
○ resolved in favor of preserving life.

Explanation:

Question 22

An autopsy is a postmortem examination to determine the cause of death, and consent statutes for it relate to family relationships. Organ donation is about donating organs, cremation is burning the body, and stem cell infusion is a medical treatment, none match the description.

Human genetics studies inheritance in humans, including stem cell research, clinical genetics, and molecular genetics. Stem cell research is a sub - area, biotechnology is broader, and cloning is a specific technique, so human genetics is the correct term.

In emergency situations, when there's uncertainty about a patient's desire, the ethical and medical principle is to resolve it in favor of preserving life. Providing minimal care is not appropriate, blood transfusion without regard to need/religion is incorrect, and contacting family first may delay life - saving treatment.

B. Autopsy
