Answer to Question 1

Ans:
B

Feedback:

Nondrug therapies for BPPV using habituation exercises and canalith repositioning are successful in many people. Canalith repositioning involves a series of maneuvers in which the head is moved to different positions in an effort to reposition the free-floating debris in the endolymph of the semicircular canals. Surgery is not a noted treatment option, and even in the absence of hearing loss, treatment is warranted.

Answer to Question 2

Ans:
B

Feedback:

The major microscopic features of Alzheimer disease are the presence of neuritic (senile) plaques, neurofibrillary tangles, and amyloid angiopathy. Distracters A, C, and D are causes for a stroke.
