Answer to Question 1

C
The light is used to detect the presence of the red reflex.

Answer to Question 2

C
Vaginal bleeding is not an expected manifestation and may indicate a health alteration such as endometrial cancer. Loss of vaginal lubrication, thinning of the pubic hair, and low back pain are not common in menopause. However, low back pain does not necessarily indicate a health alteration.
