Answer to Question 1

C
The safety of the other patients in the room is of primary importance. Once other patients are out of the room, a plan for controlling this patient can be implemented.

Answer to Question 2

B
Illness is a state of imbalance that is compared with the person's condition prior to development of the present condition. Health is when an individual experiences homeostasis, or a state of balance; recovery refers to improvement after an illness.
