Answer to Question 1

B
Feedback:
The second statement is correct, because it mentions the problem, etiology, and signs and symptoms in the correct order. The first statement is incorrect, because the etiology of the motor vehicle accident is specified in place of signs and symptoms, and vice versa. The third statement is a two-part diagnostic statement with the problem and signs and symptoms present but no etiology. The fourth statement is a correctly written two-part diagnostic statement.

Answer to Question 2

B
Feedback:
Skeletal muscles are responsible for locomotion, facial expression, and posture and are under voluntary control. Smooth muscle controls involuntary motion inside body organs and structures. Cardiac muscle is involuntary and is responsible for propelling blood through blood vessels.
