    A 16 year old boy presents to the emergency department after accidentally jabbing himself in the throat with a fork. He has pain in the back of his neck and some bleeding that has now resolved. His initial vitals were 118/74, with a heart rate of 95. On your primary survey you do not detect any active bleeding or expanding hematoma. There is no stridor, drooling or voice changes. There is no neurological deficit. How will you manage this patient based on penetrating neck hard signs and soft signs?
