Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
In otitis media (middle ear infection), the tympanic membrane (TM) is typically dull, may be inflamed, and bulges so that the posterior landmarks are obscured. The light reflex is distorted or obscured. If myringitis (inflammation of the TM) is present, the TM is reddened. Purulent or yellow fluid may be evident posterior to the TM, with diminished TM mobility.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
There are several types of oral cancers, but around 90 are squamous cell carcinomas, originating in the tissues that line the mouth and lips. Oral or mouth cancer most commonly involves the tongue.
