Answer: Broca's area

Explanation:

Broca's area is primarily responsible for producing speech. It controls motor functions involved with speech production. It is a region in the frontal lobe of the dominant hemisphere, usually the left, of the brain.

People who have damage to this area of the brain can understand words but struggle to put them together in speech. Tony clearly has no problem processing what is being said but because of the damage he can't put his thoughts to words.

Answer:

Broca's area  

Explanation:

In neurology and medicine, Broca's area is the are of the brain that is associated with the ability to produce speech. This area is located in the left side of the brain and in the frontal lobe. The main function of this area is production of speech. Most of the time, when we hit our head and our speech is affected (without our muscles of our face being affected) it is likely that the problem lies in Broca's area.

In this example, <u>Tony fell and the </u><u>left</u><u> side of his head hit some concrete steps. </u>Now, he can understand what other people are saying to him but he has a hard time speaking, in other words, <u>the production of speech is being affected. </u>Therefore, it is most likely that Tony suffered damage to Broca's area

Ms. Ward, a new patient, complains of sinus pain. Expanded problem-focused history and exam are completed, and sinus X-rays are
Murrr4er [49]

Answer: check her medical history to see if she has had these issues before during your physical exam alway check above and below the area the patient is complaining about. So for sinuses palpate the sinus drainage passage with the digits of your fingers. For below palpate the back of the neck ask if there’s any tenderness or pain also examine the throat and check the lymph nodes and tonsils. Do an oral exam look at the tonsils tongue teeth look for any inflammation or redness. Look in the nasal cavity to see if you see a deviated septum dryness bleeding any blockage after a full physical exam like that order your x-ray which would typically not be done on an acute patient with these symptoms but in a patient with chronic issues continuing I would immediately get a consult to a specialist which in her case would be an ENT( ears,nose,throat). A simple clinical treatment for sinus issues would to just put the patient on a antihistamine some examples are (Benadryl, Allegra and Clara tin) I’d recommend the patient follow up within a week to see if that helped at all and then if not follow through with the plan I set in place above. If you do place the patient on an antibiotic I would recommend (amoxicillin).
