Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Spinal shock is the complete cessation of spinal cord function below the lesion. The reflexes are not preserved in spinal shock. Spinal shock is the complete cessation of spinal cord function be-low the lesion, not at the lesion only.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
Excessive movement is the definition of hyperkinesia. Hypokinesia is decreased movement. Akinesia is loss of movement. Dyskinesia is abnormal movement.
