Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 4
Ataxia refers to loss of balance and/or coordination. Flaccidity refers to muscle tone. Paralysis refers to the inability to move parts of the body. Hemiparesis refers to a weakness on one side of the body.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 1
Ptosis, or a dropped lid, is usually related to weakness of the muscles. Nystagmus is an involuntary movement of the eyeball. Strabismus causes deviation of one or both eyes and is due to lack of muscular coordination. Myopia is a visual disturbance in which the individual is unable to see objects that are at a distance.
