Answer to Question 1

1
Rationale 1: His ethnicity is African American and his race is Black because race refers to biological similarities.
Rationale 2: His ethnicity is African American because ethnicity refers to the distinctive characteristics of one's cultural background. His race is Black.
Rationale 3: His religion is Pentecostal, which would not be documented as religion is not part of ethnicity or race. His race is Black.
Rationale 4: His regional affiliation is Southern and his race is Black.
Global Rationale:

Answer to Question 2

3
Rationale 1: An otoscope is used to examine the ear, not the eye.
Rationale 2: The red reflex visualizes the retina and is used to identify infants with cataracts.
Rationale 3: When one eye is covered while the child is looking at an object, the uncovered eye will deviate from the location; this tool is used to detect strabismus.
Rationale 4: The tonometer measures intraocular pressure and is used to evaluate glaucoma.
