Explanation: A) Brain tissue has a survival time of less than three minutes during hypoxia. Based on the location of the injury, the client admitted for a traumatic brain injury is at the most immediate risk for hypoxia-induced cell injury. Skeletal muscle, such as that involved with the clients with injuries to the chest wall, right great toe, and right femoral head respectively, has a survival
