Play on. It's her responsibility to be ready to jump.

And while that's not the ideal way to start the game, there's 32 more minutes to play. And there was only a 50% chance her team would get the jump anyway. Sounds like a pretty minimal amount of "harm" that she caused.

But overall, I'm betting SHE won't make that mistake again.

No need to readminister. As others have said, you properly sounded the whistle to alert the players that the ball was about to become live. What any player does after this is an individual decision.

Also remember that a jumper is not required to face any particular direction or even attempt to jump for the ball per the note following 6-3-8.
