Answer to Question 1

A neurologist treats conditions affecting the brain, spinal cord, and peripheral nervous system. A neurosurgeon treats neurological conditions that require surgical intervention, such as traumatic injury to the brain, spinal cord, or peripheral nerves; the presence of a foreign body, tumor, or abscess and pressure from intracranial hemorrhage.

Answer to Question 2

Oxygen therapy is administered for three primary reasons: to decrease the work of breathing, to decrease the work of the heart, or to reverse or prevent low blood oxygen levels.
