weight loss, oral lesions and lymphadenopathy
confusion, hair loss and brittle nails
fatigue, weight gain and hypotension
headache, vomiting and sarcopenia

1. define dysphagia.

difficulty hearing
difficulty speaking
difficulty swallowing
difficulty walking

Explanation:

• For question 81: Weight loss, oral lesions, and lymphadenopathy are common signs associated with AIDS. AIDS weakens the immune system, leading to various opportunistic infections and conditions that can cause these symptoms. Confusion can occur in some AIDS - related neurological issues, but hair loss and brittle nails are not typical primary signs. Weight gain is not a common sign (weight loss is more typical), and hypotension is not a hallmark sign. Headache and vomiting can be non - specific, and sarcopenia (loss of muscle mass) is not a classic AIDS sign compared to the first option.
• For question 82: Dysphagia is a medical term. By breaking down the word, "dys - " means difficult or abnormal, and "phagia" is related to eating or swallowing. Difficulty hearing is "dysphonia" (if related to sound perception in a more general sense, but more accurately hearing problems have other terms like "hypoacusis"). Difficulty speaking is "dysphasia" (more related to language expression and comprehension issues). Difficulty walking is "dysbasia".
