Answer to Question 1

B, C, D
The four major symptoms of Parkinson's disease are tremor at rest, rigidity, bradykinesia (slow movements and difficulty starting movements), and abnormal gait. Lack of facial expression is a symptom of this illness, but not a major symptom.

Answer to Question 2

A, B, D, E
When a patient has a seizure, documentation should include time of seizure onset, time of seizure termination, total duration of seizure, and characteristics of the seizure (e.g., location of tonic or clonic movement, pupil changes, cyanosis, incontinence, and patient orientation level after the seizure). While it is a good idea to assess swallowing ability after a seizure, during the seizure is not the time to do this.
