- A.
  
  Cadaver
- B.
  
  Harvest
- C.

- D.
  
  Ventilated Support
Correct Answer
D. Ventilated Support

Explanation
The correct terminology when speaking of organ donation is "Ventilated Support." This term refers to the use of mechanical ventilation to support the respiratory function of a brain-dead patient whose organs are being considered for donation. It is important to use this terminology to accurately describe the process and differentiate it from other terms like "cadaver" or "harvest," which may have negative connotations or be considered disrespectful. "Life support" is a broader term that encompasses various medical interventions to sustain a patient's life, while "ventilated support" specifically refers to the use of mechanical ventilation.

Myth or Fact: "I have a history of medical illness. No one could benefit from my donation."
- A.
  
  Myth
- B.
  
  Fact
Correct Answer
A. Myth

Explanation
This statement is a myth because having a history of medical illness does not automatically disqualify someone from being able to donate. Depending on the specific illness and the individual's current health status, they may still be eligible to donate certain organs, tissues, or blood. Medical professionals assess each potential donor on a case-by-case basis to determine if their donation can be utilized safely and effectively.

  Myth
- B.
  
  Fact
Correct Answer
B. Fact

Explanation
The correct answer is "Fact". This means that the statement "The medical team treating you is completely separate from the transplant team" is true. This implies that the medical professionals who are responsible for your regular healthcare and treatment are different from the specialists who handle the transplant procedure. This separation ensures that there is a dedicated team of experts who focus solely on the transplantation process, providing specialized care and expertise.

Myth or Fact: I don't need to tell my family that I'd like to be a donor because it will already be written in my will.
- A.
  
  Myth
- B.
  
  Fact
Correct Answer
A. Myth

Explanation
The statement is a myth because even though one may mention their wish to be a donor in their will, it is not legally binding. It is essential to have a conversation with family members about their decision to donate organs or tissues to ensure that their wishes are known and respected. The family's consent is ultimately required for organ donation to proceed, regardless of what is written in the will.
