Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
The eye examination begins with determination of the patient's visual acuity. Next, the examiner typically inspects the external and accessory structures before concentrating inward to include the eye.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
As the dial on the ophthalmoscope is moved counterclockwise, the diopters shift from positive to negative. Because the more negative diopters direct the focus posteriorly, by moving from the positive to negative diopters, your focus will shift from the anterior eye to the posterior eye, retina, and optic disk.
