Bell's Palsy is characterized by_____________?

Correct answer: B. Inability to whistle

  • A. Bilateral involvement of the side of the face
  • B. Inability to whistle
  • C. No loss of muscular control
  • D. Closing of the eyes

Explanation

Bell palsy is an acute lower-motor-neuron facial nerve paralysis, so facial movements such as whistling become difficult and eye closure may be impaired. It is usually unilateral, making bilateral involvement incorrect.
