They have experienced which type of seizure?
A. Generalized tonic-clonic seizure
B. Absence seizure
C. Focal (partial) seizure with impaired awareness
D. Myoclonic seizure

**Rationale:** Focal (partial) seizures with impaired awareness (formerly known as complex partial
seizures) originate in one area of the brain and can cause a change in consciousness. Automatisms, such
as repetitive lip smacking and hand rubbing, are characteristic of this type of seizure. Post-ictal
confusion and emotional changes like fear are also common .
, ### Question 2

experiencing?
A. Melancholic depression
B. Atypical depression
C. Depression with psychotic features
D. Depression with catatonic features
**Correct Answer: D**
**Rationale:** Catatonic features in depression are characterized by abnormal motor activity or
movement, such as repetitive or purposeless movements (e.g., accentuated blinking), stupor, or
excessive motor activity without purpose. The presence of movement abnormalities alongside
depressive mood symptoms supports this diagnosis .

A. The PNS has an afferent and efferent division
B. The CNS consists of the brain and spinal cord
C. The somatic nervous system is part of the autonomic nervous system
D. The autonomic nervous system is divided into the sympathetic and parasympathetic branches
**Correct Answer: C**

autonomic nervous system, which controls involuntary functions. The autonomic nervous system is
correctly divided into the sympathetic and parasympathetic branches .
