Answer to Question 1

Ans: B
The nurse tests for extraocular movements by assessing the cardinal fields of vision for coordination and alignment. Normally both eyes move together, are coordinated, and are parallel. Visual acuity is assessed with the Snellen chart. Tests for peripheral vision (or visual fields) are used to assess retinal function and optic nerve function. Full peripheral vision is normal. Cataracts are noted by inspection (cloudiness of the lens).

Answer to Question 2

Ans: D
A nodule is a mass 0.5 cm to 2 cm that is firmer than a papule. A macule is a lesion that is 1 cm or smaller. A wheal is an irregular, superficial area of localized skin edema. A vesicle is a 1 cm or less lesion filled with serous fluid.
