Data would nod if he was capable of doing so. A doctor certainly qualifies as an emergency response role.
"I have not been able to access my CommLink or communicate with other crew," Data says, completely calm sounding despite the circumstances, "I am not in need of immediate assistance. However, I will ask that you remove my biopistol, CommLink, and restraints from my person for safekeeping. The phenomenon causing the malfunction of the ship appears to have adversely impacted my motor functions."
He isn't even simulating breathing, which is slightly disconcerting, but a lower priority than the well-being of the rest of the crew and the ship itself.
"Are you all right, doctor?" It is polite to ask, even if Data is unlikely to be able to do anything about his response - asking such questions is a curious human habit Data strives to emulate.
