Answer to Question 1

D
Hypoxia is responsible for the injury to organ systems during submersion injuries. Respiratory acidosis occurs as a result of hypoxia. Severe hypothermia offers protection to the brain. Hypoglycemia is not responsible for organ damage in submersion injuries.

Answer to Question 2

A
Any surgical procedure leaves the patient vulnerable to infection. There is no datum in the scenario to validate increased intraocular pressure or to support a diagnosis for disturbed sensory perception (visual) related to a surgical procedure. Usually eye surgeries are relatively painless.
