Explanation:

For the first question, in soft - tissue neck AP and lateral projections, the typical collimation light field is 10 inches (25 cm) crosswise and 1 inch (2.5 cm) beyond the skin line of the anterior and posterior surfaces. For the second question, when performing these projections, the patient is usually instructed to hold their breath to prevent motion artifacts.

Answer:

1. A. 10 inches (25 cm) crosswise and 1 inch (2.5 cm) beyond the skin line of the anterior and posterior surfaces
2. A. Hold breath
