Explanation:

1. An advance directive is a legal document that allows patients to state their wishes regarding medical treatment in case they become unable to make decisions. It can address the termination of life - supporting treatment. A care plan is a general plan for patient care, not specifically about life - support termination. A do - not - resuscitate (DNR) order is about not attempting CPR, not all life - support. A document about life insurance payout has nothing to do with life - support treatment.
2. During postmortem care, when death is unexpected, an autopsy may be performed to determine the cause of death. The body turning blue and being soft is a later stage of decomposition. Contact with blood or body fluids is not a defining aspect of postmortem care. Limpness of skeletal muscles (primary flaccidity) occurs soon after death but is not the main event in postmortem care.

Answer:

1. C. An advance directive
2. B. There is an autopsy for the body when death is unexpected.
