Answer to Question 1

Are you choking?

Rationale: If a victim is having difficulty breathing, you should ask if they are choking; all other options are distractors.

Answer to Question 2

All of these answers

Rationale: Because the medical record is considered a legal document, if any of the events listed occurs, each or all of them would contribute to provider liability due to inappropriate or inadequate documentation.
