Answer to Question 1

3
Airway and breathing are always a top priority for a client. Once gas exchange is ensured for the client, the other diagnoses of activity intolerance and nutrition imbalance can be addressed. Anxiety would be addressed last for this client.

Answer to Question 2

4
Because of greater movement, the cervical area is the most unstable area of the spinal cord and is the most vulnerable area for injury. The thoracic, lumbar, and coccygeal regions of the spinal cord are more stable and less vulnerable areas for injury.
