Answer to Question 1

1
The hypothalamus regulates temperature of the body. Pressure from a cerebral bleed on the hypothalamus could cause variations in the client's body temperature. Pressure to the hypothalamus will not cause blindness, alterations in speech, or uncoordinated body movements.

Answer to Question 2

1
The major function of the frontal lobe of the cerebral hemisphere is high-level cognitive activity. This is what will be affected in the client with an injury to the frontal lobe. Visual perception occurs in the occipital lobe. Coordination occurs from the cerebellum. Respiratory rate is controlled by the brainstem.
