Answer to Question 1

A
In an unconscious patient, assessment of ocular function and innervation of the medial longitudinal fasciculus (MLF) is performed by eliciting the doll's eyes reflex. If the patient is unconscious as a result of trauma, the nurse must ascertain the absence of cervical injury before performing this examination.

Answer to Question 2

B
Patient safety is a major concern for the patient receiving a neuromuscular blocking agent because these patients are unable to protect themselves from the environment. Special precautions should be taken to protect the patient at all times.
