Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
For patients with suspected neurologic conditions, the presence of many symptoms or subjective data may be significant. Offering leading questions is not beneficial and may allow the patient to give misinformation. Questions should be specific about symptoms.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
Place the neck in a neutral position (not flexed or extended) to promote venous drainage.
