Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
Point D, the periorbital and postauricular areas, should be selected. Battle's sign and periorbital ecchymoses are associated with basilar skull fracture.

Answer to Question 2

ANS:
74
Calculate the CPP: (CPP = mean arterial pressure MAP  ICP). MAP = DBP + 1/3 (systolic blood pressure SBP  diastolic blood pressure DBP). The MAP is 94. The CPP is 74.

Diet, eye exercise, drug therapy, and corrective lenses can all help manage nearsightedness.

Your skin wrinkles if you stay in the bathtub a long time because the outermost layer of skin (which consists of dead keratin) swells when it absorbs water.
