Answer to Question 1

B
The Glasgow coma scale was developed in 1974 and consists of three parts of the neurological assessment: eye opening, best motor response, and best verbal response.

Answer to Question 2

Feedback:
Although this surgery has become almost routine in large hospitals, it still poses some dangers. The chances of recovery are good, but they are not as good for elderly persons as for younger ones.
