Answer to Question 1

Answer: 4

1. Blowing the nose does not cause bleeding in the middle ear.
2. Blowing the nose hard will not cause the tympanic membrane to rupture in this situation. It can increase pressure within the middle ear and dislodge or disrupt the prosthesis.
3. Blowing the nose hard will not cause vertigo.
4. Blowing the nose can increase pressure within the middle ear and dislodge or disrupt the prosthesis.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: 4

1. Chronic glaucoma is painless.
2. Chronic glaucoma has a gradual loss of peripheral vision.
3. Diplopia is not a manifestation of glaucoma.
4. Acute glaucoma causes severe eye pain, blurred vision, nausea, vomiting, and halos.
