Question 4 of 5

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: Resuming a functional role in society is the ultimate goal in the rehabilitative phase, focusing on independence and quality of life. Pain management, support, and infection prevention are interventions, not goals.

Question 5 of 5

Which of the following is a feature of complex partial seizures?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: Having involuntary facial movements, such as lipsmacking, is a feature of complex partial seizures. Complex partial seizures often originate from the temporal lobe and can cause automatisms like chewing, swallowing, or picking. Fixed and dilated eyes are associated with brain death or severe brain injury, not complex partial seizures. Involuntary groaning sounds are more typical of simple partial seizures, which do not impair awareness or cause automatisms.
