Answer to Question 1

Ans:
D

Feedback:

Mnire disease is characterized by fluctuating episodes of tinnitus, feelings of ear fullness, and violent rotary vertigo that often renders the person unable to sit or walk. There is a need to lie quietly with the head fixed in a comfortable position, avoiding all head movements that aggravate the vertigo. Symptoms referable to the autonomic nervous system, including pallor, sweating, nausea, and vomiting, usually are present. The more severe the attack, the more prominent are the autonomic manifestations. A fluctuating hearing loss occurs with a return to normal after the episode subsides. Her symptomatology is not characteristic of AOM, acute vestibular neuronitis, or BPPV.

Answer to Question 2

Ans:
A

Feedback:

Treatment for sleep terrors in children consists primarily of educating and reassuring the family. The child should be assisted in settling down without awakening. The child must be protected if he gets up and walks during these episodes.
