Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 1
About 80 of people recover completely from Bell palsy within a few weeks to a few months. Recovery can take longer than 3 to 5 weeks. The facial paralysis will resolve. There will not be permanent paralysis on one or both sides of the face.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 1
Parkinson disease creates the slowed or delayed movements typical of bradykinesia.
It does not create an increase in spontaneous movements that occur more slowly. High energy and active exercise is difficult for the patient with Parkinson disease. Patients with Parkinson disease do talk slowly, but the term bradykinesia refers to movement.
