Motor nerve neuropathy is characterized by which of the following symptom sets?

• A. Nausea and vomiting.
• B. Fever and chills.
• C. Loss of balance, muscle weakness, and spasms.
• D. Hearing loss.

Answer: (C)

The main idea here is understanding how motor nerves affect movement. When these nerves are damaged, signals from the brain to the muscles weaken, so you see problems with strength, control, and muscle contractions. That’s why the symptom set of losing balance, feeling muscle weakness, and experiencing spasms fits motor nerve neuropathy best. Weakness makes it hard to maintain steady gait, reduced control leads to balance problems, and spasms arise from nerves firing abnormally to muscles.

The other symptoms listed don’t fit motor nerve involvement. Nausea and vomiting are mainly GI or systemic issues, fever and chills point to infection or inflammatory processes, and hearing loss involves the auditory system in the ear, not the motor nerves.
