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).

Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
