Answer to Question 1

Carotid

Rationale: The carotid pulse should be palpated for 5 to 10 seconds; all remaining options are distractors.

Answer to Question 2

otorhinolaryngological

Rationale: The Romberg test is used to indicate the loss of the sense of position when standing erect with the eyes closed and feet together. Because the inner ear is responsible for the sense of balance, the examination that would be used for this assessment is the otorhinolaryngologi cal.
