Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
The first focus of care is helping the victim feel safe. An already vulnerable individual may view assessment questions and the physical procedures as intrusive violations of privacy and even physically threatening. The patient might refuse to have evidence collected or to involve law enforcement.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
Monitoring for respiratory depression takes priority over hypotonia, seizures, or coma in this situation.
