Which of the following questions is of LEAST pertinence initially when assessing a responsive 40-year-old woman who fell from a standing position?

Can you move your hands and feet?
Did you faint before you fell?
Did you hit your head?
Have you fallen before?

The correct answer is: Can you move your hands and feet?

When assessing a responsive 40-year-old woman who fell from a standing position, the least pertinent question initially would be asking if she can move her hands and feet. While this question is important for assessing potential spinal cord injury and neurologic function, at this initial stage, the priority would be to gather information about the mechanism of injury, specifically if she hit her head, whether there was a loss of consciousness (fainting before the fall), and if there is any history of previous falls. These questions would help in determining the extent of trauma and any potential complications related to the fall.
