Question 1 of 5
1. Question
Consider the following statements;
1. The eggshell skull rule is a common law principle applied in civil litigation.
2. This rule ensures that the person being sued cannot escape liability for exacerbating a pre-existing condition due to their negligence.
3. The eggshell skull rule applies to all types of injuries, including physical, emotional, and psychological harm.
How many of the statements is/are correct?
Correct
(c) All three
It is a common law principle applied in civil litigation.
It states that all victims should be fully compensated for their losses, even in situations where the victim was more-susceptible to injury due to a predisposing condition or preexisting injury.
This rule ensures that a defendant (the person being sued) cannot escape liability for exacerbating a pre-existing condition due to their negligence.
The eggshell skull doctrine is named after a hypothetical situation where a person with a fragile skull, akin to an eggshell, suffers a head injury.
If the victim’s skull fractures more easily than the average person, the defendant is still fully liable for all resulting damages, despite the victim’s unusual vulnerability.
Despite its name, the eggshell skull rule applies to all types of injuries, including physical, emotional, and psychological harm.
The rule is applied for claiming an enhanced compensation — for damage that is more than what could have been ordinarily anticipated to be caused by the defendant.

Question 3 of 5
3. Question
Naegleria fowleri, sometimes seen in the news is?
Correct
(a) Brain-Eating Amoeba
Naegleria fowleri is an ameba (single-celled living organism) that lives in soil and warm fresh water, such as lakes, rivers, and hot springs. It is commonly called the “brain-eating amoeba” because it can cause a brain infection when water containing the amoeba goes up the nose. It is a microscopic organism that can only be seen with a microscope. The amoeba enters the body through the nose and can cause a severe brain infection known as primary amoebic meningoencephalitis (PAM).
Signs and Symptoms:
They may initially resemble the meningitis-related symptoms of headache, nausea, and fever.
In the later stages, one may experience seizures, hallucinations, a stiff neck, and possibly a coma.
The infection spreads quickly and usually results in death after five days. According to the CDC (Centers for disease control and prevention), PAM’s initial symptoms appear one to 12 days after infection.
Treatment:
Because these infections are uncommon and spread swiftly, researchers haven’t yet found any cures that work. Amphotericin B, azithromycin, fluconazole, rifampin, miltefosine, and dexamethasone are being used by doctors to treat it.
Impact of Climate Change:
The CDC predicts that as temperatures rise around the world, more people will become infected with Naegleria fowleri since the amoeba primarily lives in warm freshwater bodies. The organism may sometimes survive at even greater temperatures and thrives best in high temperatures up to 46°C.
Recent research has revealed that too much atmospheric carbon dioxide has caused lakes and rivers to warm up. “These circumstances offer the amoeba a more hospitable habitat in which to flourish.
The CDC website notes that during heat waves, when air and water temperatures may be higher than usual, the amoeba may also flourish.
