Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
Unilateral weakness of the facial muscles usually occurs, resulting in a flaccidity of the affected side of the face with inability to wrinkle the forehead, close the eyelid, pucker the lips, smile, frown, whistle, or retract the mouth on that side. The face appears asymmetric.

Answer to Question 2

A drug holiday is a period of time when all drugs are withdrawn from the person with Parkinson disease. The drugs are then restarted at a lower dose with favorable results.
