○ increased appetite
○ deafness
○ restlessness

1. the diagnostic term for a condition characterized by brain damage and lack of muscle control and partial paralysis is:

○ cerebro-vascular accident
○ multiple sclerosis
○ cerebral palsy
○ parkinson’s disease

Explanation:

Question 27

• Unequal pupil size can be a sign of brain concussion (due to neurological impact).
• Deafness can occur due to brain concussion affecting auditory pathways.
• Restlessness is a common symptom of concussion (disorientation, discomfort).
• Increased appetite is not associated with brain concussion; concussions often cause nausea, loss of appetite, etc.

• Cerebro - Vascular Accident (stroke) is due to blood flow issues, not mainly about muscle control from brain damage in the typical way.
• Multiple Sclerosis is an autoimmune disease affecting the central nervous system's myelin, not directly about brain - damage - related muscle control at onset.
• Cerebral Palsy is caused by brain damage (often prenatal or perinatal) and leads to lack of muscle control and partial paralysis.
• Parkinson’s Disease is a neurodegenerative disorder with tremors, rigidity, etc., not characterized by the same brain - damage - muscle - control - paralysis pattern as cerebral palsy.

Answer:

B. Increased appetite
