Answer to Question 1

A, B, D
Poorly controlled diabetes, cataracts, macular degeneration, and advanced glaucoma may limit the visual field. Peripheral vascular disease may be associated with diabetes, but it occurs in the extremities, not the eyes.

Answer to Question 2

B, C
The pulse rate of 118 beats/min and the respiratory rate of 35 breaths/min are abnormally elevated and require further assessment. Blood pressure 110/64 mm Hg and oral temperature 98.6F (37C) are considered normal and do not require further assessment.
