Answer to Question 1

An electroencephalogra phy (EEG) maps electrical impulses that move along neurons in the brain. Epilepsy is characterized by nerve groups of neurons in the brain that send abnormal, uncontrolled impulses. The EEG shows the distinct patterns of the abnormal electrical brain activity found in epilepsy. Electr/o- means electricity; encephal/o- means brain; -graphy means process of recording.

Answer to Question 2

D
Explanation: A) This describes bronchiectasis, not empyema.
B) This describes cyanosis, not empyema.
C) Empyema is not an occupational lung disease.
D) Correct
