Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
The signs and symptoms of a brain tumor are related to its size and location. Most tumors create increased intracranial pressure (ICP) with the hallmark symptoms of headache, vomiting, drowsiness, and seizures.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
A concussion is a temporary disturbance of the brain that is immediately followed by a period of unconsciousness. It is accompanied often by a loss of memory of the events that occurred immediately before, during, or after the injury.
