Answer to Question 1

Ans: A
Eye convergence is assessed by holding your finger 6 to 8 from the patient's nose and asking the patient to follow it as it moves closer. A pen light is used to assess pupillary reaction. Visual acuity is assessed with the use of a Snellen chart. Following a pencil from side to side is a test for extraocular movements.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: A
Changes in the size or appearance of a mole always require further assessment and follow-up due to their association with skin cancer. Decreased skin turgor is an expected finding in older adults, as are diffuse red spots (cherry angioma) and raised, dark areas (senile lentigines).
