Answer to Question 1

C
The patient's condition can rapidly deteriorate into paralysis that affects the respiratory muscles. Close monitoring of respiratory function is important and necessary.

Answer to Question 2

A
Feedback:
Assessing her condition immediately is most important; she may need to have an EEG or other medical test or treatment at the hospital. If a fracture seems possible, then an X-ray should be requested. The other choices, though important for her future safety, are less important.
