Answer to Question 1

B
Feedback
A Damage caused by inflammation or obstruction usually causes a temporary and
reversible hearing loss.
B When hearing loss is caused by malformations, auditory nerve damage, or
infection, the loss is usually permanent.
C A central type of hearing loss usually causes difficulties in differentiating sounds
and problems with auditory memory, and it is reversible.
D A combination of conductive and sensorineural loss. Conductive loss is often
reversible, whereas sensorineural is permanent.

Answer to Question 2

D
Feedback:
A Pap smear is taken from the endocervix at a first prenatal visit to be certain a precancerous or cancerous condition of the uterine cervix, vulva, or vagina is not present. A Pap smear is not used to date a pregnancy, detect uterine cancer, or predict if cervical cancer will occur.
