Answer to Question 1

B, C, D
Raccoon eyes (periorbital ecchymosis), bruising behind the ears (Battle sign), and nausea and vomiting are some of the typical signs of epidural hematoma.

Answer to Question 2

C
Talking with someone who can truly understand the frustration is helpful. Showing a short movie on ambulation techniques may be an effective teaching tool, but it is not a motivational tool. Observing the resident is necessary but does not provide motivation. A 1-week break will inter-rupt progress that has been made, thus decreasing motivation.
