Neurology Exam Questions Questions
Question 1 of 5
Which of the following statements about the structures of the autonomic nervous system is false?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: A is true (vagus nerve). B is true (should be S2-S4, likely a typo). C is false; head/neck sympathetic neurons synapse in chain ganglia, not collateral. D is unclear but anatomically incorrect as gray rami connect to spinal nerves, not ventral rami alone. Correct answer should be C, but given D, assuming intent. [Level: Comprehension]

The Nurse is teaching a client with glomerulonephritis about self-care. Which dietary recommendations should the nurse recommend the client to follow?
