Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
Ataxia, or uncoordinated movements, may been seen in a child with a problem of the basal ganglia, which controls movement. Changes in temperature and blood pressure are more likely related to problems with the hypothalamus, and incontinence could signify a spinal cord problem.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
This child has manifestations of Reye syndrome. The definitive diagnosis of this disease is made via a liver biopsy.

It is tightly attached to the skin below it, so it compensates for the increased area by wrinkling. This happens to the hands and feet because they have the thickest layer of dead keratin cells.

This condition is progressive and worsens with time. More than 100 million people in the United States are nearsighted, but only 20% of those are born with the condition.
