Answer to Question 1

2, 3, 4
Taste abnormalities include ageusia, or the absence of the sense of taste; hypogeusia, or diminished taste sensitivity; and dysgeusia, or a disturbed sense of taste. Diplopia is blurred or double vision. Dysphagia is difficulty swallowing. Ataxia is a lack of muscle coordination.

Answer to Question 2

1, 2, 3
Glaucoma is determined through a comprehensive eye exam including a visual acuity test, visual fields test, dilated eye exam, and tonometry. The Weber and Rinne tests are used in an ear assessment. An electroencephalogra m is not used to diagnose glaucoma.
