frontal
parietal
occipital
temporal

Explanation:

1. For the first question, a tapered - dose of immunosuppressants can affect the immune response and potentially worsen myasthenia gravis symptoms leading to respiratory failure. Microbial infections can also trigger exacerbations in myasthenia gravis patients, and surgery can be a stressor that precipitates respiratory problems in these clients.
2. For the second question, injury and surgery are well - known precipitating factors for complex regional pain syndrome.
3. For the third question, the occipital lobe of the cerebrum is primarily responsible for analyzing and interpreting visual information.

Answer:

1. D. All the above
2. A. Injury and surgery
3. C. Occipital
