Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
Injury to the brainstem results in stupor and coma. Signs of damage to the cerebrum are specific to the involved area. Individuals with frontal lobe injury may have impaired memory, personality changes, or altered intellectual functioning. Individuals with damage to the cerebellum have difficulties with coordination of muscle movements, including ataxia and nystagmus. Impaired vision and functional blindness result from injury to the occipital lobe.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A, D, E
Clinical manifestations of hyperparathyroidism include polyuria, vague bone pain, and paresthesia in the extremities. Constipation, not diarrhea, and hypertension, not hypotension, are manifestations of hyperparathyroidism .
