D. Flat neck veins may indicate a decrease in venous return due to low blood volume associated with dehydration.

Correct Answer is A

B. A small-boned, thin frame is considered a nonmodifiable risk factor as it is a genetic characteristic that cannot be changed.

Correct Answer is ["D","F"]

Explanation

A. This statement indicates complete paralysis of both sides, which does not apply to hemiparesis, where one side is affected.

B. While this could describe some patients, it does not accurately represent "complete" right-sided hemiparesis.

C. This option is a repeat and also does not accurately reflect complete right-sided hemiparesis.

D. Weakness on the right side of the face and tongue is consistent with right-sided hemiparesis, as the stroke may affect motor control in those areas.

E. This describes a client who is less severely affected and may not apply to someone with complete right-sided hemiparesis.

F. Weakness on the right side of the body is a direct characteristic of right-sided hemiparesis.
