Answer to Question 1

Ans: B
Feedback:
Hallucinations, sensory impressions that are based on internal stimulations, have no basis in reality. Hearing voices when no one is there is a typical auditory hallucination. Delusions, beliefs not based in reality, reflect an unconscious need or fear. Illusions are misinterpretations of actual stimuli.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: C
Feedback:
Proprioceptors are located in the inner ear, muscles, tendons, and joints and affect the ability to discern the exact position of extremities. The phenomenon is not directly related to an insult to the brainstem. It may or may not be related to increased intracranial pressure or a subdural hemorrhage.
