Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 1
Recovery is likely, but it can take weeks to years for recovery. Nontherapeutic responses do not address the patient's concerns.

Correct Answer: 1
Trigeminal neuralgia is characterized by unilateral excruciating facial pain. This symptom is not associated with Parkinson disease, Bell palsy, or myasthenia gravis.
