Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
Vertigo is a result of vestibular dysfunction and often is precipitated by a change in head position. Neurological deficits include peripheral neuropathy and stroke. Visual deficits include presbyopia, cataracts, glaucoma, and macular degeneration. Hearing deficits include presbycusis and cerumen accumulation.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Sensory or receptive aphasia is the inability to understand written or spoken language. A patient is able to express words but is unable to understand questions or comments of others. Expressive aphasia, a motor type of aphasia, is the inability to name common objects or express simple ideas in words or writing. Global aphasia is the inability to understand language or communicate orally.
