Answer to Question 1

C, D, E, F
Feedback:
While visual disturbances and headaches are not closely associated with Parkinson's disease, the other cited signs and symptoms are associated with it.

Answer to Question 2

B
Feedback:
Many, but not all, neurologic illnesses exist for reasons beyond an individual's control. Smoking cessation and preventing obesity have been shown to have a preventative effect. Avoidance of toxins and maintaining mental activity are less significant preventative measures.
