Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
Paraplegia is the paralysis of both legs. Quadriplegia is the paralysis of all four extremities. In-fraparaplegia is not a description of paralysis. Paresthesia is a loss of sensation, not paralysis.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Individuals with hypotonia tire easily (asthenia) or are weak. They may have difficulty rising from a sitting position, sitting down without using arm support, and walking up and down stairs, as well as an inability to stand on their toes. Individuals with Parkinson disease have rigidity and stiffness. Symptoms of Huntington disease include irregular, uncontrolled, and excessive move-ment. Paresis, or weakness, is partial paralysis with incomplete loss of muscle power.
