Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
Within the oropharynx, upward movement of the uvula within the midline when the patient says ah is indicative of an intact gag reflex.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
In examination of the mouth, use a tongue depressor to displace the lips and cheeks. Inspect areas of the buccal mucosa that are not otherwise visible, including the sites of the Stensen's and Wharton's ducts. Stenson's duct of the parotid gland, which releases saliva, is located on the upper buccal mucosa opposite the molars.
