Answer to Question 1

Ans:
A, C, D

Feedback:

African American race, male gender, hypertension, and diabetes are all well-documented risk factors for stroke. Anemia, autoimmune disorders like rheumatoid arthritis, and the use of corticosteroids are not noted to predispose to stroke.

Answer to Question 2

Ans:
C

Feedback:

Fine manipulation skills are the domain of the outer layer, or neolayer, of the tract systems. The inner and middle layers and the reticular formation are not noted to be responsible for these functions.
