Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
Communicating hydrocephalus occurs because of defective reabsorption of the fluid. Hydro-cephalus can occur because of overproduction of CSF, but in adults it occurs most often because of defective reabsorption of the fluid. Hydrocephalus is not due to either intercellular edema or elevated arterial blood pressure.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
Delirium and the inability to concentrate are characteristics of acute confusional state. Echolalia is the repeating of words and phrases. Dementia is characterized by loss of recent and remote memory. Dysphagia is difficulty speaking.
