Extract:
Question 1 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.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse in an ophthalmology clinic is interviewing a client who was referred by his primary care provider for suspicion of cataracts. Which of the following findings is consistent with manifestations of cataracts?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: A decreased ability to perceive colors is a manifestation of cataracts due to lens clouding. Loss of peripheral vision indicates glaucoma, central vision loss indicates macular degeneration, and flashes/floaters suggest retinal detachment.
