Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
End-point nystagmus at an extreme lateral gaze normally occurs; however, the nurse should carefully assess any other nystagmuses. Severe nystagmus occurs with disease of the vestibular system, cerebellum, or brainstem.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Kinesthesia, or position sense, is the person's ability to perceive passive movements of the extremities. The other options are incorrect.
