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.
