Answer to Question 1

B, C, D
The four major symptoms of Parkinson's disease are tremor at rest, rigidity, bradykinesia (slow movements and difficulty starting movements), and abnormal gait. Lack of facial expression is a symptom of this illness, but not a major symptom.

Answer to Question 2

A, B, D, E
When a patient has a seizure, documentation should include time of seizure onset, time of seizure termination, total duration of seizure, and characteristics of the seizure (e.g., location of tonic or clonic movement, pupil changes, cyanosis, incontinence, and patient orientation level after the seizure). While it is a good idea to assess swallowing ability after a seizure, during the seizure is not the time to do this.

Heroin has a slight affinity for opiate receptors. Most of its actions are due to metabolism to active metabolites (6-acetylmorphine, morphine, and morphine-6-glucuronide).

Astigmatism is the most common vision problem. It may accompany nearsightedness or farsightedness. It is usually caused by an irregularly shaped cornea, but sometimes it is the result of an irregularly shaped lens. Either type can be corrected by eyeglasses, contact lenses, or refractive surgery.
