You are working in a Family Practice office. A patient comes into the office with right facial drooping. The physician makes a diagnosis of Bell's palsy. You know that the primary treatment for this disease is likely to include:

Choice A rationale: These are symptoms of advance renal failure. Stomatitis and diarrhea are signs of uremia, which is the accumulation of waste products in the blood.

Choice B rationale: Dyspnea and anuria are signs of fluid overload and kidney shutdown and indicate advanced renal failure.

Choice C rationale: Confusion and vomiting are signs of acidosis and electrolyte disturbances and occur in advanced stages of renal failure.

Choice D rationale: One of the early symptoms of renal insufficiency is nocturia, which is the need to urinate frequently at night. This occurs because the kidneys are unable to concentrate urine during the day and produce more urine at night. Another early symptom is oliguria, which is the production of less than 400 mL of urine per day. This occurs because the kidneys are unable to excrete enough urine to maintain fluid balance.

Choice A rationale: Expressive aphasia is a type of non-fluent aphasia that affects the

ability to produce language. It is caused by damage to the anterior part of the left frontal lobe, which is responsible for motor planning and execution of speech. Patients with expressive aphasia can understand language but have difficulty speaking, writing, or naming objects. They often produce short, halting, and grammatically incorrect sentences with word-finding difficulties.

Choice B rationale: this is another term for expressive aphasia. The patient can

understand language but have difficulty speaking, writing, or naming objects. They often produce short, halting, and grammatically incorrect sentences with word-finding difficulties.

Choice C rationale: Global aphasia is a severe form of aphasia that affects both

comprehension and production of language. It is caused by extensive damage to the left hemisphere of the brain, which is dominant for language functions in most people.

Patients with global aphasia have little or no ability to speak, write, read, or understand language.

Choice D rationale: Wernicke's aphasia is a type of receptive aphasia that affects the

comprehension and production of language. It is caused by damage to the posterior part of the left temporal lobe, which is responsible for processing auditory and visual

information. Patients with Wernicke's aphasia can speak fluently but nonsensically, using words that are irrelevant, invented, or distorted. They also have difficulty understanding spoken or written language and following commands.
