Answer to Question 1

D
Postprocedural assessment involves monitoring vital signs, observing the injection site for bleeding, and assessing neurovascular integrity distal to the injection site every 15 minutes for the first 1 to 2 hours. Depending on how the puncture site is stabilized after the procedure, the patient may have to remain flat in bed for a specified length of time.

Answer to Question 2

B
Lesions in the parietal lobe, as well as in other cortical structures, can result in apraxia, an inability to perform a learned movement voluntarily.
