The patient presents with a complaint of 'always dropping things and falling down.' During the neurologic assessment, the nurse observes that the patient's display of rapid alternating movements is slow and misses often. The patient also loses balance during the Romberg Test.

Correct answer
C
Rationale
Cerebellar dysfunction causes coordination and balance issues, as seen in slow alternating movements and Romberg Test failure.
