Answer to Question 1

ANS: F
An intravenous (IV) osmotic dehydrating solution, such as mannitol, may be ordered to reduce cerebral edema if there is no evidence of intracranial hemorrhage.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: T
The corpus callosum or the anterior commissure connecting the two hemispheres in the midline of the brain is severed. This prevents passage of neuronal discharges from a focal seizure between the hemispheres, thereby preventing secondary generalized seizures.
