Most likely she will recover
she can develop ARDS
mortality and morbidity due to E choice

A
patients who regain consciousness and breathing before arriving in the ER almost always recover..this patient recovered at the site of accident,thus any complication would be unlikely

I agree with gingko. Answer A.

"The physiologic consequences of drowning are due primarily to hypoxic-ischemic and reperfusion injuries. The devastating long-term neurologic consequences of drowning occur almost exclusively among patients who have drowning-associated asphyxial cardiac arrests. Patients who do not experience cardiac arrest rarely have significant sequelae."
