What are the 2 characteristics that an individual does not need to have to be alive? and (not multiple choice, sorry)

The ability to reproduce
The ability to respond to stimuli .
The 2nd one may be a bit confusing but people who do not respond to stimuli eg they have CIPA or are blind or deaf can still survive

If these are the missing choices: a. to determine skin temperature, place the back of your hand against the patient's skin.b. determine body temperature by touching the patient's hands and feet.c. skin temperature will tell you very little about this patient's condition or well-being.d. the patient's skin temperature and color will likely be warm and red.my answer is: a. to determine skin temperature, place the back of your hand against the patient's skin. using the back of the hand to check for temperature rather than the palm is more effective because the back of the hand has more nerves that can feel and transmit the temperature than the palm.
