Answer to Question 1

A
Preservation of patient safety is of higher priority than any of the other interventions.

Answer to Question 2

A, B, C, D
NMS is considered a medical emergency requiring immediate intervention to save the patient's life. A dystonic reaction is extremely uncomfortable and requires swift intervention to restore patient comfort. Akathisia is uncomfortable but is not considered an emergency. Tardive dyskinesia is a serious, possibly unremitting problem that might require discontinuing the medication. It develops over weeks, months, or years.
