Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 1
Recovery is likely, but it can take weeks to years for recovery. Nontherapeutic responses do not address the patient's concerns.

Correct Answer: 1
Trigeminal neuralgia is characterized by unilateral excruciating facial pain. This symptom is not associated with Parkinson disease, Bell palsy, or myasthenia gravis.

Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
